PEACE and unity go together. If you have one, you have the other. World unity would ensure world peace, a peace as abundant and lasting as the unity upon which it was based.

But both are dependent upon something else. Upon what? Psalm 119:165 answers: “Abundant peace belongs to those loving your [God’s] law, and for them there is no stumbling block.”

Loving God’s law, not just simply knowing it, is what is necessary to overcome the stumbling blocks on the road to peace and world unity. That love is the key that opens the door to world unity.

No Love for God

World unity is not just a matter of politics. It involves spirituality; it involves religion, Bible-based religion. Getting to know God’s law means studying the Bible carefully. Learning to love God’s law entails more: meditating on its wisdom and on the personal benefits of obedience. A person who thus learns to love God’s law will express it by loving his neighbor, but primarily by loving God.
