πŸ’₯ 2 Corinthians 13:11


Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

πŸ’₯  Be perfect:  following the Spirit of God, doing the will of God, speaking words which edify one another in Christ.  (and when needed apologizing)

πŸ’₯  Be of good comfort:  To do this, we will certainly have to bridle our tongues from time to time, speaking not by our flesh to destroy another person but edifying that other person in the Word of God to bring comfort and grace in time of need, speaking by that which the Spirit of God gives us.

πŸ’₯ Be of one mind:  This is critical.  Be conformed in thinking to the New Testament Bible, not to the ways of this world.  Ephesians 4:3-6   Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;  One Lord, one faith, one baptism,  One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

πŸ’₯  Live in peace:  We live in peace by taking each care to God and talking to God and hearing from God concerning the troubling thoughts.  Continually examining ourselves by this:  Do I have any cares about anything today?  If the answer is "yes", stop immediately and pray, doing what Paul says to do in Philippians 4:6  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

We cannot live in peace if we are concerned about anything.  So pray.  And when we do this God promises us the following:

Philippians 4:7  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
