Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. I Peter 3:11
As Jesus’ close friend, Peter would most certainly understand the passions of His heart and the purpose of His actions. They were pure and transparent, “Do good; seek peace,” with deliberate pursuit.
Any agenda other than peace is unacceptable. Doing good brings about peace. Others may not come into a state of peace, but you will and you is what you answer for.
When I come to my day of judgement, God will not ask me, “How did everyone treat you down there?” However, He will ask, “How did you treat others?” Doing good and seeking peace is the only acceptable answer to this question.
God loves peace and so must I.
