The peace of God is unity in his creative Spirit, who wants to bring a new peace and unity to the torn state of humankind and the whole world. When God blesses his people with peace, we must never think exclusively of peace of soul or of a military cease-fire. God’s peace brings the new order of a kingdom of peace that carries all before it inwardly and outwardly.

Therefore the church is placed into this world as an embassy established by the Holy Spirit so that it may proclaim and put into practice this new kingdom of reborn mankind. The only way this is possible is through the forgiveness of sins: Christ is revealed as the perfect Redeemer, who alone is the center, not only as the King of the coming kingdom, but as the heart and head of his church.
