Envy and strife are the marks of folly, of a worldly, emotional and devilish wisdom, bringing only disorder and evil. The wisdom which comes from God brings peace; for it is full of good deeds of mercy. The message of peace means the fighting task of conquering all lands through the weapons of the Spirit, and subjecting them to God’s lordship. It is for this task alone that the King and Commander of Peace wills to be with us.

- Eberhard Arnold The Meaning and Power of Prayer LifeIf we ask God earnestly that His will may become a fact on earth, that His nature may be revealed in work, that His rulership may lead men to unity, righteousness and love, then our life will become work. Faith without works is dead. Prayer without work is hypocrisy. The Lord’s Prayer without the way of God’s kingdom is a lie. The prayer of Jesus wants to bring us to the point where its words are turned into deeds, so that the prayer becomes action and history.

Peace is the work of God. Without the Creator there is no peace in the creation. Just as there can be no outer peace without the inner peace of social justice, just as there can be no justice without the community of creative work, so there can be no peace without God. God alone is love. Only the active working of His Spirit of love creates peace.

Peace is born of thoughts of the good. In the strength of peace one wants the good for all men and all things. A heart that thinks evil cheats itself and all others of peace. It becomes unhappy and spreads unhappiness. But he who works towards peace through the good, brings the joy of life to men.
