Peacemakers

Abigail: A model of peace I Samuel 25
What is peace? Romans 1:5; Ephesians 2:13-22; Philippians 4:6-7
“Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Don’t let your heart be troubled or fearful. (John 14:27
God is the peacemaker! Colossians 1:14-20
We are called to be peacemakers II Corinthians 5:18-19; Matthew 5:43-48; I Peter 3:14-17
Peace without compromise of purity before God Romans 12:16-18 ; Hebrews 12:14-15; Romans 14:19
James 3:17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without pretense.
Hebrews 13:20-2120 Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus—the great Shepherd of the sheep—through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 equip you with everything good to do his will, working in us what is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
