The Shoes of the Gospel of Peace

Just as a Roman soldier relied on spiked shoes for traction in battle, we need the readiness of the Gospel of Peace to keep us from slipping when life gets chaotic. This peace provides stability through two vital connections: our reconciled relationship with God and our unity with other believers. We must stop trying to find security in shifting circumstances and instead anchor ourselves in the finished work of Jesus. By doing so, we gain the spiritual footing required to stand firm against fear and anxiety.
