Lasting peace can be brought about only by Him who is immortal and eternal. It can never be established by earthly powers. Only the infinite power of God can build up unity and keep peace. All that is mortal is subject to disintegration and dissolution. If unity of life is to be won and kept, death must be overpowered by life.

- Eberhard Arnold The Meaning and Power of Prayer LifeThe love to Jesus, this burning personal love to God who has made himself known to us, is and remains the witness to the unity of all-embracing life. This love as the deepest and most heartfelt personal relationship finds its living expression in calling upon the One it loves. The truth and force of this love, however, lies in the decisive fact that it is God, really God, whom it meets in Christ. One who really believes in God as He is and works, will be urged again and again to communicate with Him.

We must guard against the false notion that God is a purely transcendental power, removed from matter and the stuff of this earth. The coming community of life will be a kingdom of work on this earth. Work will be the binding factor in the cells of human community. The only work people can do with their whole soul, work full of spirit and pulsing life, comes from love. And there is no love that does not get to work.

The peace of God, as the future of the kingdom of God, must penetrate and hold complete sway over world conditions. He who believes in the all-commanding might of God is filled with courage and certainty for the victory of His peace. Faith in the peace of God is the courage of the heart that is confident of victory.
