Peace and War
“It is the duty of Christians to seek peace with all men on principles of righteousness. In accordance with the spirit and teachings of Christ, they should do all in their power to put an end to war. The true remedy for the war spirit is the gospel of our Lord. The supreme need of the world is the acceptance of His teachings in all the affairs of men and nations, and the practical application of His law of love…”
“The peace Christ will establish is the peace of His kingdom. Authentic Christian peacemaking takes the form of evangelism and gospel witness, because peace among nations can come only when individuals in those nations come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Until Christ comes, there will be war. But Christians must work and contend for peace. We must pray the reign of the Prince of Peace until He comes.”
