God is the wall of fire round about His kingdom (Zech. 2:4-5).
It is in God’s holy mount that they shall not hurt nor destroy (Isaiah 11:9).
This peace is to those who have been reconciled unto God in one body (Eph. 2:15).

The Gentile was not part of the covenant between Israel and God (Eph. 2:11-12).
Christ abolished that which kept the two separated (Eph. 2:13-15).
Both approach God on an equal footing (Gal. 3:28).

Put away all bitterness (Eph. 4:31-32; Col. 3:8).
Cultivate lowliness, meekness (Eph. 4:1-3).
Practice the principles (Matt. 7:12; 22:39).

Is something that me must strive for!
Is a welcome change from the ways of the world when maintained!
It is a foretaste of heaven!

11. Acts 16: (KJV)
And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither. 14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul. 15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
