Description
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
--Matthew 5:9
The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.
--Psalm 33:5
People are longing for peace and justice. The women whose stories are in these pages followed the Lord Jesus Christ in his way of compassion and justice for the world. The Gospel message is better presented when Christians match their actions to their words in acts of mercy and love. These women pursued a God of peace and justice who respects all persons, especially the lowly, the weak, the forgotten, the marginalized, and the poor.
Lasting peace comes through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. True justice comes from God. "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ," (Romans 5:1-2). Justified women and men who have the peace, comfort, and assurance of God's forgiveness have the privilege and the responsibility to advance true justice as they spread the gospel of peace in word and deed. From Shiphrah and Puah to Dorothy Day, the women in these stories are a shining example for Christ's followers who have been empowered by the Holy Spirit to take the message of hope to a lost world.
"He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with hour God." (Micah 6:8)
