Living in peace is not avoiding life or conflict, but rather a good start is refusing to allow the accuser room, and not entertaining gossip.
Living in peace requires us to be peacemakers. How do we make peace? We resolve conflicts, seek good and live holy. Living holy means we separate ourselves from the ways of the world. Drunkenness and carousing, gluttony, unclean talk, watching unhealthy movies or partaking in unclean behaviour on social media are all worldly ways.
Our God is holy and to be able to come into His presence we must be holy as well. Scripture is full of admonishment on what is good and clean and lovely. If we are reading our scripture we are training our minds in righteous behaviour. If we apply those scriptures then we are living holy lives. Amen!
