Being the Peacemaker

Show Indonesian Version

1 Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Life is about learning to love. God wants us to appreciate the relationship, trying to fix it rather than throw it away when cracked or injured. For this reason, the New Testament mostly teaches us about how to build relationships with others. Even the Apostle Paul reveals that our ability to build relationships with others is a sign of spiritual maturity ([bible]Roman5:1-5[/bible]).

Christ also wants His followers are known through love for one another. Therefore, a broken relationship or even conflict among fellow believers is a failed testimony for those who do not know God. Paul condemned the similar conditions that occurred in the city of Corinth as the church brings their cases to court by each other. Paul was very concerned because none of the congregation could reconcile them.

Jesus wants us to be known as the peacemaker, even He said, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God." He did not say, "Blessed are those who love peace," because everyone loves peace. He also did not say, "Blessed are living in peace," those who are never bothered by anything. Jesus said those who are happy are those who are actively working to bring peace.

The peacemakers are very few and hard to find, but every believer should be individuals who are like that, because we are called to love and share love. Today, we are known as a peacemaker and love characterize our lives?

 

Creating peace is a very important skill and should be in our hands
