Paul offers four imperatives for believers as a means to have the peace of God that will keep our hearts and minds.

We look to our God of peace, Who has raised us to new life and speaks peace into the places of our lives.

The fellowship we share as believers in Christ and part of the householdof God is possible because of the Holy Spirit.

The power of the cross is to work in our hearts, drawing us closer to God and breaking down the walls of hostility.

God has redeemed His people through His grace, making us His workmanship to freely live in Him and serve through Him.

We can have faith and confidence in Christ, Who has authority over everything and every age, leading His Church in truth.

We are called to grow in our knowledge and understanding of God so that we can understand the richness of the inheritance He offers us and see the immeasurable greatness of His power and goodness toward us.

We have the guarantee of God's inheritance for us through the Holy Spirit, who has sealed our hearts.

God is actively working in the world having brought redemption from sin, forgiveness for our trespasses, and unity through Christ
