       Paul also said, “And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body” (Colossians 3:15, ESV). So, in the household of God—the body of believers—we are to be peaceful within ourselves, which will then lead us to be peaceful with one another. And we can depend on God for our peace with others, as Paul said, “Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all” (2 Thessalonians 3:16, ESV). I would like us to consider a couple of verses from the Apostle Paul written in Galatians chapter 6. I think these verses are a good summery of being a peacemaker in the body of Christ. Paul said, “Brothers and sisters, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:1-2, ESV). So, we as fellow believers are supposed to be gracious and kind to fellow believers within our church if they caught in a sin.
