60 Bible verses about Peace
I've been thinking a lot about how much God's love impacts our lives and the incredible peace it brings. It's like when you really feel God's presence, everything just settles. The Bible constantly reminds us of this, and 1 John 4:16 puts it perfectly: "God is love."1
It also encourages us to strive for perfect love and to chase after peace. Think about it: God loved us first. He took the initiative and sent his Son to die on the cross for us, even though we didn't deserve it. He was thinking of us when he did that, taking on the punishment we deserved so we could have peace.
It makes me want to share all the good things God has given me. We're called to show that same kind of pure, unconditional love to others, letting go of arguments and hate. Putting that peace that comes from Jesus' heart first is key. It's how we can live peacefully and calmly, right here and now, in the world God has given us.
