Strive To Live In Peace

Because we are His children, by faith, we have been permanently positioned in-Christ, which has given us peace with God, the forgiveness of sins, and life everlasting. But now that we have been saved through our faith in Him, we are to strive to live in peace with all people and to pursue godly consecration and holiness of heart - without which we are told, no one will ever see the Lord.
There are many perils and dangers for the one that fails to pursue peace and rejects Christ's call to holiness. Unless we are saved by faith, we cannot have peace with God and unless we are walking in spirit and truth, we will not know the peace of God. We Must:
"Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord."

Our United Prayer:
Father, thank You that we have been redeemed, sanctified, and set apart by You because we are Your blood-bought children. Our dear desire is that our lives are truly holy and set apart for You, in thought, word, and deed. We have so often spotted our garments by pursuing things other than Your perfect peace, Your holy purity, and Your godly will for our lives. Help us to keep the eyes of our hearts fixed on Jesus and we pray that the lives that we now live in this body may reflect our heavenly position in Christ - in Whose name we pray, AMEN.
