       We “were called” to this peace, then, “in one body.” We learn two things at this point. It’s something that we are supposed to be practicing, note, the higher calling. The peace is a call. It’s not something, again, that occurs without proper actions toward one another, without properly treating one another with the forgiveness and love. It’s a collective call, and one that will fall into place when we are doing what is right. But the second thing we learn is that we are supposed to be “one body.” Just one body, and not two, three, or more. We don’t want divisions among each other, like Paul talked about with the Corinthians, and we don’t want to be treating others as special and others as not, as James referred to as regards wealth. We want to be one body, having one mind, all striving in the same direction. This promotes peace obviously. If we are arguing over the minuscule, pointless things as pertains to the Christian life, then we aren’t in a peaceful environment.
