And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
Colossians 3:15
Colossians 3:15 is part of a larger passage in which the apostle Paul is discussing the Christian life and how believers should live.
In this verse, Paul is instructing believers to let the peace of Christ rule in their hearts. This peace comes from Christ and is available to all believers, and should be the deciding factor in how believers live their lives.
Paul also says that as members of one body, believers were called to peace, meaning that peace is a defining characteristic and should be evident in the relationships between believers.
Finally, Paul instructs believers to be thankful. This is a key part of the Christian life and is a response to the peace and grace that God has given us through Christ.
May God’s grace be eternally upon all who love our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 6:24
With all the curveballs that are thrown at us, it is pretty clear that life is not always easy. That said, we should always strive to let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts, to live in peace with one another, and to be thankful for the grace and peace that God has given us.
