CAN CHRISTIANS HAVE PEACE?

     Those who have received the kingdom of God, guiding their lives on the path of truth (Lc.18.17;. 2-P 2.22), found peace through faith in the atoning death of the Messiah, to feel forgiven of their sins . No wonder the Scriptures say: "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace through our Lord Jesus Christ." (Ro.5.1).

   But those who are "having girded your loins with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness" (Ef.6.14), are not satisfied with the peace that once was given to them. Because if they realize that there are facts or circumstances unfair within his family in the faith of Jesus Christ, can not remain indifferent to the suffering of some, or the tyranny of others

     In addition, because they know what they should do to the right of duty; and they are aware that justice not charity or his fellow servants can be as tragic as making great evils. To be accountable to our Savior many will admit that fell fatally in this nonsense. (Matthew 25. 31-46).

     Those who are fighting the good fight of faith and earnestly contend for it (one-Ti.6.12; Jud.3) do not support and passively resigned deception and injustices of the Evil One and his minions, though dressed as angels of light (2- Co.11.14). Paul says: "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Ro.12.21).

    Christian attitude must therefore be active, as "an instrument of justice" (Ro.6,13), bearing in mind that "... the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds" (1-Co.10.4). These days, those strengths are equivalent in some cases to customs or doctrines calming nerves, illusions and entertain a lot, but do nothing to help the "edify" (Ro.14.19), ie organized mutual aid, if we agree that our Eternal Father is the God of order and not of confusion. (1-Co.14.33,40).
