5:22-23 Galatians “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, (23) gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” (ESV) 5:16 Galatians “So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” (NIV) 2:20 Galatians “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” (NIV) 2:10 Galatians “Their only suggestion was that we keep on helping the poor, which I have always been eager to do.” (NLT) 1:24 Galatians “And they praised God because of me.” (NLT) 1:20 Galatians “I declare before God that what I am writing to you is not a lie.” (NLT) 1:07 Galatians “but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ.” (NLT) 16:20 Romans “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you." (NIV) 16:19 Romans “But everyone knows that you are obedient to the Lord. This makes me very happy. I want you to be wise in doing right and to stay innocent of any wrong." (NLT) 15:33 Romans “The God of peace be with you all. Amen." (NIV)
Paul ends this chapter with a short but powerful statement. It is a blessing. It is a reminder. It is a goal. We are to know the God of peace AND to know the peace of God in our hearts and minds. It is a wonderful experience to know His peace. It satisfies ALL of your longings. It fulfills ALL of your needs. It eliminates ALL of your wants. It gives you the sense of belonging to Him through Christ…forever.
May you know that peace, too!
