Strive for Peace

14 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. 15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; 16 that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. 17 For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.
Hebrews 12:14–17

Strive For Peace
The Lord is the God of peace and unity. The devil desires chaos and division. The world works to divide you. Your sinful nature is the creator of anger, malice, envy, and malice. Your God is the one that loves you, so he rescues you. He sends his Son to break the bonds of sin and to take death away from us and to grant you peace. Jesus is your Esau. He has given you his birthright. Jesus wins the fight and now he continues to care for you. Thanks be to God for his cross and resurrection.
