PEACE – A NEW LIFE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
Main Text: Galatians 5: 16, 22, 23
Memory Verse: Romans 8:6
Introduction
There are several physical marks which
identify people, cultures and ideas. Tribal marks could tell where a person comes
from; dress codes could identify a person with a particular tribe. All true
worshippers have certain marks that distinguish them from all other false
worshippers or unbelievers. These marks are the characteristics we exhibit in
our daily lives which makes us exclusively unique from all others. We do not
exhibit this naturally but through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. One of
such is peace.

Conclusion
Peace is the absence of hostility and the bridging of the separation
between people and God; and between people and other people. It is a state of
harmony and security, safety and freedom. This state of peace is only achieved
when we accept Christ and put on the new self through the enablement of the
Holy Spirit. A man or woman of peace; a girl or boy of peace would be blessed
by God and called a child of God. That is one of the most important marks of a
true believer.
