CHAPTER THREE
Gospel of Peace
“having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace.” Ephesians 6:15
Matthew 4:23
“Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing
every disease and sickness among the people.”
Mark 1:1
“The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah the Son of God.”
Mark 1:14
“4 After
John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God.”
Acts 20:24
“24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord
Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.”
Romans 10:15
“15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring
good news!”
Romans 3:17
“And the way of peace they do not know.”
1 John 2:6
“ Whoever claims to live in Him must live as Jesus did.”
John 14:27
“27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be
troubled and do not be afraid.”
When we truly allow ourselves to take comfort in the good news promised by God, there is nothing from outside
ourselves that can trouble our hearts or give us reason to be afraid. Christ has overcome the world (John 16:33), and
so we have nothing to fear from it.
Following Christ's steps is the way to real peace.
Luke 10:19-20
“19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing
will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in
heaven.”
