joeb Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I've been reading Colossians lately and found this verse very interesting. What does it say to you? Quote: Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Gibs Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 He calls into one body only and that body has the True Christian Unity. It comes from this promise and those who have received Him Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He is the comforter, Joh 15:26 ¶ But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: 1Jo 4:4 ¶ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1Jo 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 1Jo 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. Quote A Freeman In Jesus Christ

Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. It seems to me the basic message of the text is that we are called into the body of the church so that we can allow God's peace to rule in our hearts, and above all we are to be thankful for this, i.e. have an attitude of gratitude. What does the first have to do with the second? What does being called into the body have to do with allowing God's peace to rule in our hearts?
