Heb 12:14 ‘Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.’
While peace is given of the Lord, it must be strived for, pursued by man. Knowing that without peace holiness, the personage of Christ, is missed by man. Where peace is absent, sin is often present (Psa 24:3-4). Holiness is coupled with living in peace. A right relationship with God leads to right relationships with fellow believers, we must pursue peace as we become more Christlike: Heb 3:12 ‘Exhort one another every day… that none of you may be hardened by deceitfulness of sin.’ Peace quickly passes when pride is present.
Peace is evident when the posture is poised; quick to listen, slow to speak and patient in spirt… HSAY
