The
offer of 'peace' is made (20:10; Romans 5:1). Some refuse to 'make
peace'.They choose to 'make war' (20:12). When the enemies of Christ and
the Gospel are raging, we must be resolute in our commitment to living
'as the Lord our God has commanded' (20:16-18). We are to 'do what is
right in the sight of the Lord'. This will involve 'going forth to war
against our enemies'. It will involve 'purging the evil from our midst'
(21:9-10,21; Ephesians 6:10-13; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5; Hebrews
12:1-2,11). Our life of holiness is grounded in the death of Christ who,
on the Cross, was 'accursed by God' so that we might be saved by God
(21:23; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:13; 1 Peter 2:24). Through faith
in Him, we have been declared holy (Romans 5:1,3-5,9-10).
