The Gospel of Peace
The apostle Paul teaches us that one purpose to prayer is so that “we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.” A good Christian wants peace with others (Romans 12:18). This peace gives us the opportunity to practice godliness and reverence. Physical disruptions, such as famine, war, violence, and disease, distract from daily Christian living. The good life is the quiet and peaceable life showered by God’s blessings of family and friends who assemble as Christians to worship.
