The above verses found in the new testament (which is our new covenant with God) makes the following assertions:
1. Labour in peace.
2. Peace is orderly
3. The pursuit of peace is ongoing.
It does not say to stop working or praying for peace because God as already won. Why would Jesus (and similarly stated by the Apostles) even say 'blessed are the Peacemakers' if He wasn't trying to encourage us to pursue peace? The above verses encourages us to labour in peace. We must do our part.
Work for Peace!
