       He told everyone, “as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.” He also stated that the believers need to put on love because it “binds everything together in perfect harmony.” So with the forgiveness and the love then comes peace. When we are forgiving each other in the body of Christ for any offenses that occur, instead of holding things against each other, and when we are practicing love, helping each other out when the occasion arises, it only makes sense that there would be peace. The two preceding areas lead to peace, but this peace too is something that we have to “let… rule in our hearts.” With the letting of peace rule then must come the awareness that it is present. It is realizing the contrast that we have within the church walls versus the rest of the world. Because we are following God the way we are supposed to within the body, the peace is present. Elsewhere, where proper ways of treating each other aren’t followed, there is not peace. What we have then in unique, and characteristic of Christians.
