Today,
reply is on peace as the product of divine judgment and sacred law
rather than warfare, and the World as a man-made system of belief.

This
world was not designed to be peaceful, what do you think?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born
of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also
that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children
of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the
love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are
not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world:
and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our
faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth
that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and
blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and
blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit
is truth. (1st John 5: 1-6, King James Version, KJV)
THE
DOUBLE DAGGER: Peace Or A Sword? (01/29/2019); Be Still Before GOD?
(05/20/2018); Making A Perfect World? (09/20/2017); The Peace of
Christmas? (12/25/2016);
The Divine Peace Process? (09/27/2016); In Not From The World?
(12/26/2014); The World Passeth Away (11/12/2013)
“Dark
Places,” elements that appear within the makeup of the world system
include anger, bitterness, fear, greed, exaggerated pride, and
selfishness. Many Christian believers acknowledge teachings that say
existence, life, the earth, and mankind have been the Creation of
divinity while the world is a man-made system for human survival that
relies on mechanical, natural and social law, rather than divine law
and sacred knowledge. The world as a belief system promotes
the use of finite tools such as logic, philosophy, politics, carnal
reason, science, secular knowledge, technology, and warfare.
The world generates and supports multiple finite beliefs, meanings,
understandings, and values that respond to the operations of sin.
Sin is no material or tangible thing created by GOD, yet, sin may
dominate awareness and self-will in the living. Sin opposes the
continued existence of divine law, the Lawgiver, and the divine order
that prevails throughout the universe. The world often operates in
the manner of idolatry and the worship of false gods, for the world
routinely dismisses sacred truth established through the covenants
and relationships provided by GOD to edify and nourish his own image
within created beings and living creatures living on the earth. The
substance and makeup of peace from GOD is life essence (i.e.,
breath; spirit; word) and sacred endowments established through
operations of divine law. Peace is not the outcome of warfare,
rather, peace is the outcome of judgment where value is correctly
assigned, conflict is resolved, and disputes are settled by applying
divine law. The peace of the world is illusory and temporal. Thus,
consider the following counsel to developing Christian believers that
uses language from the Bible:
1.
Isaiah 26: 7-12, King James Version (KJV): 7 The way of the just
is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of
the just. 8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD,
have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to
thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. 9 With my soul have I
desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek
thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the
inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. 10 Let favour be
shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in
the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold
the majesty of the LORD. 11 LORD,
when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but
they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people;
yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them. 12 LORD,
thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our
works in us.
2.
Luke 12: 29-31, KJV: 29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what
ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30 For all these
things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father
knoweth that ye have need of these things. 31 But rather seek ye the
kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
3.
John 3: 16-21, KJV: 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into
the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might
be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that
believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in
the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the
condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved
darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For
every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the
light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth
cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they
are wrought in God.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, 4. John 14: 26-27, KJV: 26 But the
Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send
in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to
your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 27 Peace I leave
with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I
unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.)
Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you
according to your faith.
