Can You Stand For Peace And Righteousness?

BIBLE MEDITATION: “Now the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means.” 2 Thessalonians 3:16
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: One of the strangest verses that ever fell from the lips of the Prince of Peace, Jesus, is this: “Think not that I have come to send peace on the earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword.” (Matthew 10:34) That’s incredible because the Bible calls Him the “Prince of Peace.” What is He talking about then? He is saying, “I came with a sword to put a line of demarcation between truth and error, between light and dark, between sin and righteousness.” When God’s standard of righteousness is set, there will always be division. Without righteousness there can be no peace. Peace can never come where sin remains. God will never make a peace treaty with sin, never!
ACTION POINT: Some people think when others act righteously that they are acting religiously, and sometimes not very peacefully. How can you stand in the gap for peace AND righteousness? visit lwf.org

The sword is always for war but used also for peace to ward off workers of iniquities and enforce the law of truth.To live peaceably is a command but in righteousness.Righteous living becomes that sword to pierce the wall of sin and tear the curtain down.
