As we continue our series in the Old Testament, we discover why the LORD is considered the God of Peace. We look at thestory of Gideon and how the LORD brings about peace in times of conflict and fear. We see how God brings peace by conferring mercy to sinners, then commissions His people to administer His peace in practical ways. Finally, He consecrates sinners, creating spiritual peace between Him and us. Peace is central to God’s character, and He invites us to find and receive His peace.
