The Charter of the United Nations was signed in June 1945. The stated purpose for its existence was to maintain peace and security, to solve problems, and to promote harmony among nations. However, since it was signed, there have only been twenty-six days without armed conflict somewhere in the world. For sure, nations and individuals should work for peace. All people should be peacemakers (Matthew 5:9). However, true and lasting peace can only be found by submitting to Christ and following His Word (Ephesians 2:14–16).
