El evangelio de la paz

Abstract

The term “peace” appears about a hundred times in the New Testament. By that fact alone, it shows us that it is a concept of fundamental importance for the understanding of the Gospel and the life of the churches. The Scriptures tell us that God is a God of Peace; that Christ is Lord of Peace. The prophet called the expected Messiah the “Prince of Peace”; The fruit of the Spirit of God is peace and living in the Spirit is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. The Gospel of Peace opens the possibility of a new relationship with God, which becomes a reality as we live in a new relationship with our fellow human beings. In this community the
Differences and barriers that separate men are overcome: nationalism, racism, prejudices based on gender differences, spirit of economic competitiveness, cultural, religious and social differences that contribute to attitudes of superiority on the part of some and inferiority on the part of others. Therefore, we can say that peace is at the very heart of the life we ​​live and the message we Christians proclaim.
