The League of Nations was the first international organization whose principal mission was to maintain world peace.
Its primary goals, as stated in its Covenant, was to prevent wars through collective security and disarmament, and settle international disputes through negotiation and arbitration.

The League was also tasked with improving labour conditions, ensuring just treatment of native inhabitants, preventing human and drug trafficking slowing the arms trade, promoting global health, protecting prisoners of war, and the protection of minorities in Europe
And after the turmoil caused by the Versailles Treaty, many looked to the League to bring stability to the world.

However the League of Nations was unable to bring peace to the world.
During its existence, there were wars between Russia and Poland, wars between the Baltic States, between Italy and Albania and then of course the League could not prevent the Second World War.

Between the two Great Wars political alliances were made and broken, Peace agreements were made …. then broken, treaties weren’t worth the paper they were written on.
So one could say the League failed to achieve it’s adjectives. No-one could dispute that
The Italian Dictator Benito Mussolini said of the League of Nations….. that
…."the League is very well when sparrows shout, but no good at all when eagles fall out."
That is - it was toothless when it came to making big decisions,

    And yet, many Christians do not fully understand what the passage actually means. They know they have been saved by grace through faith. That is, they know that their sinful nature separated them from God, who is holy (the opposite of sinful), and that they therefore were dead in their sins, unable to have peace with God. In other words, the payment for sin is death - eternal separation from God. They also realize that they could not make peace with God by trying to measure up to His standard….
