It seems everywhere we turn the world is at war or conflict. Our world does not know the way to peace. God has called us to be examples of peace. We must first be at peace before we can show the world how to have peace. God wants us to be at peace and we look forward to a world that everyone will live at peace. It is important to live a peaceable life now as we teach others how peace will fill the earth in God’s kingdom.
