God, the source of peace to us by His redemptive work of righteousness through His son Jesus Christ, calls for us to endeavour to keep the bonds of peace. We are to not let go of peace, the abscense of emnity, as it is what holds us together. God sets the example for us; He started with love, then got rid of the emnity, and finally there was peace between Him and us. This is our example, our steps towards peace within the Church, the Body of Christ. We cannot however expect for this peace to be present without any effort. We must provoke each other to love and good works. There must be a constant, sharp contention of love that spark all of us to lose our emnity and bring about peace.
