God has reconciled us to Himself and has given us the message of reconciliation so that many more can come to the knowledge of His saving grace through us. We are to pursue peace with all around us, making peace between warring parties. As this is done God places His mark of recognition on the peacemaker as His child.

SUMMARY

Anyone who has decided to live holy will suffer persecution and will be ridiculed.

Only those who endure to the end will inherit the kingdom of heaven.
