But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance Gal 5:22-23
The underlying Greek word here is eirene defined as peace, quietness or rest.
Sources of Peace
Our Faith:
- Romans 5:1 …since we have been justified in faith, we have peace with God …
- Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Our trust:
- Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him,…
- 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.
- Romans 8:31 If God is for us, who can be against us.
We are commanded to have Peace
2 Corinthians 13:11 “… Live in Peace….”
Colossians 3:15 “Let the Peace of Christ rule in your hearts…”
Hebrews 12:14 “Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy…”
Our challenge then is to work toward having a peaceful life in a world distracting us from its source, faith and trust in God.
