THEME: GOD’S PERFECT PEACE
Romans 12:17-21
“Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
INSIGHT
-Peace is a precipitate of reconciliation. In Matthew 5:43-44 Jesus says that; “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,” The love of God is the catalyst as well the foundation that causes reconciliation and therefore peace. Both of these form the fruit of the Holy Spirit. It is through the enablement of the Holy Spirit; who helps us to love one another, and most importantly our enemies. Since each one has a will, it is our own personal responsibility to ensure that we live peaceably with everyone. At the wake of jealousy, hatred, abuse, rejection and bad attitude, God calls to do good no matter the negativity that we might face. The kingdom of God requires us to love despite our limitations. Matthew 5:9 discloses that we are blessed when we make peace, for we are children of God, and when we forgive our neighbors; God forgives us too.
