Saturday, October 19 They will have to beat their swords into plowshares.— Isa. 2:4. The true God gives holy spirit to his loyal servants, and the fruitage of that spirit includes peace. (Gal. 5:22 ) Another reason for our peaceful unity is that we are “no part of the world.” (John 15:19 ) Rather than taking sides in political issues, we remain neutral. Having ‘beaten our swords into plowshares,’ we do not get involved in civil or international wars. The peace we can enjoy with one another goes deeper than merely refraining from doing harm to our brothers. Although the congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses that we belong to may be made up of individuals from many different ethnic groups and cultures, we “love one another.” ( John 15:17 ) Our peace allows us to “work what is good toward all, but especially toward those related to us in the faith.” (Gal. 6:10 ) Our peaceful spiritual paradise is something to be treasured and safeguarded. w
