Peaceful Christians

Christian Life  by

Christian pacifism is the theological and ethical position according to which pacifism and non-violence have both a scriptural and rational basis for Christians, and affirms that any form of violence is incompatible with the Christian faith. Jesus says “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you” in the Gospel of John. Jesus gives us peace, which means it is his, and therefore God’s, to give. Peace is the presence of God and we need to find God in our everyday lives in order to find peace and then channel it in our lives.
