God's judgment comes upon a sinful humanity for failure to live together justly and peacefully, and calls all to repentance and faith in God.
God's resolve for peace was manifested in a new way through one people, chosen to be a blessing to all.
God calls us to be peacemakers in and through the many overlapping circles of communities through which God gives us life: our homes and friendships, neighborhoods and work places, congregations and volunteer associations, towns and cities, nations and international communities.
Then, there is the peace of God which is available on a daily basis as the believer participates in the Christian way of life according to the Plan of God.
In the Christian Way of life, peace comes through fellowship with God and daily growth, advancement in spiritual things which brings stability, a relaxed mental attitude, orientation to the plan of God, occupation with Christ, and the ability to employ faith-rest principles in all areas of life.
Any loss of peace is followed by adjustment to the plan of God (confession and restoration to fellowship), faith-rest, and relaxed mental attitude, and Peace in the new situation.
