God's Presence and Our Peace
Commentators emphasize the direct link between Paul's commands and the promise of God's presence. When believers strive for restoration, unity, and peace, they create an environment where 'the God of love and peace' will dwell with them. As one scholar notes, strife and contention distance us from God, while peace invites His presence. This isn't about earning God's favor, but about aligning the church's life with His character.
