Abstract
<jats:p>The turbulence of life in the world today is very intense, thus it creates many problems in human life, including conflicts and even wars between countries. Peace has therefore become an urgent necessity at both local and global levels. The church is not immune to such upheaval; therefore, it must proclaim and pursue peace with greater urgency. “Grace” and “Peace” (χάρις and εἰρήνη in Greek) in Paul's letters consistently appeared in both opening and closing section. The correlation of these two terms with the entirety of Paul's letters for the Church in proclaiming and pursuing peace is still undermined. Although these two terms seem very familiar to Christians, it has less impact in the Church's efforts to pursue peace. An important research question is how does Paul's understanding of “Grace” and “Peace” contribute to the church in proclaiming and pursuing peace? The aim of this article is to demonstrate that these two terms “Grace” and “Peace” in Paul's letters provide both academic and practical contribution to the Church to proclaim and pursue peace. This research employs literature study. Firstly is to examine the literary structure of “Grace” and “Peace” both at the opening and closing of Paul’s letters. Secondly is to argue the relation of these two terms with the body of the letter. Thirdly, it is to demonstrate the significance of grace and peace for the Church in proclaiming and pursuing peace, both locally and globally. The conclusion will serve as the closing of this article.</jats:p>
