Live Peaceably With All Men

-July 23, 2025-

Good morning beloved, happy Wednesday,

“If it is possible, as much as it depends on you, live peaceably with all men.”

(Romans 12:18).

With all the conflict in this world, believers have a challenging responsibility to live peaceably with everyone. Sometimes it depends on us and at other times it depends more on other people.

We have all known people who are just plain hard to get along with no matter what we do. We can speak soft and gentle words, and show love and kindness, and still it doesn’t work. This why Paul says, “as much as depends on you.”’

Hebrews 12:14 says, “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.” Jesus said in the Beatitudes, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God” (Matthew 5:9).

May the Lord help us to behave like Christians in a non-Christian world. Our testimony of what Christ has done in our lives makes a huge impact on those who are unsaved. Let us pursue peace and live peaceably with all men.

Have a blessed day. Stay safe and healthy.

Only those who have peace with God can live in peace with others.
