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 InnerlandGod sent the Spirit of His Son into human hearts. This means obligation and authority; it means that all men who are gripped by this Spirit expel all other spirits from their entire sphere of life. The Spirit of unity wants community in all things. This spirit brings about unity among men, because it brings men into unity with God.

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.

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.
- Eberhard Arnold
