Yesterday’s devotion was regarding abiding in Christ, the Holy Spirit living in us. By faith a person is saved, justified, and thereby we have peace with God.

John 1:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.1.12.NASB1995
for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’

A child of God is a peacemaker.
So, what is the responsibility of a peacemaker?
To shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, To guide our feet into the way of peace.”

The peacemaker spreads the “Gospel of Peace”.
For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,
Ephesians 2:14 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.2.14.NASB1995
by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near; for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household,
Ephesians 2:15-19 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.2.15-19.NASB1995
So children of God, let us put on gospel shoes and spread the gospel of peace.
and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Ephesians 6:15 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.6.15.NASB1995
🌹But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy. And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
