Envy and strife are the marks of folly, of a worldly, emotional and devilish wisdom, bringing only disorder and evil. The wisdom which comes from God brings peace; for it is full of good deeds of mercy. The message of peace means the fighting task of conquering all lands through the weapons of the Spirit, and subjecting them to God’s lordship. It is for this task alone that the King and Commander of Peace wills to be with us.

- Eberhard Arnold The Expectation Of That Which Is To ComeWithout the final future that we are awaiting, the whole of Christianity would really be nothing. If only our hearts were completely gripped by this! Surely after the unbelievably horrible and alarming news we have heard, we should all stretch out our hands toward what is to come. Let us ask that at last the world may be redeemed from all the horrors, and the dawn of the new day may break, even though the darkness of judgment must precede it.

Peace is the work of God. Without the Creator there is no peace in the creation. Just as there can be no outer peace without the inner peace of social justice, just as there can be no justice without the community of creative work, so there can be no peace without God. God alone is love. Only the active working of His Spirit of love creates peace.
- Eberhard Arnold
Peace is born of thoughts of the good. In the strength of peace one wants the good for all men and all things. A heart that thinks evil cheats itself and all others of peace. It becomes unhappy and spreads unhappiness. But he who works towards peace through the good, brings the joy of life to men.
