JESUS IS PEACE

He paid for His Peace to be ours
Isaiah 53:5 NKJV

He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, For there were many against me.

AVOID CONFLICT WITH OTHERS


Colossians 3:12–17 NKJV
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
John 15:12–13 NKJV
This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.True peace, isn’t the end of a battle, true peace comes when the two opponents reconcile with each other. Removing the opposition and enmity in their hearts.
DEAL WITH CONFLICTING THOUGHTS
Many wonder what they can do to change the feelings of anxiety and they feel when they come under pressure.
2 Corinthians 10:3 NKJV
casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

Look up all these scriptures on peace and meditate upon these and

Philippians 4:6–7 AMPC
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. 7 And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Isaiah 26:3 NKJV
You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.
Romans 15:13
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Psalm 119:165 NKJV
Great peace have those who love Your law, And nothing causes them to stumble.
