GODS PEACE THRU GRACE
Roman 5:1-4 5 Therefore being
justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we
have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of
the glory of God.
3 And not only
so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh
patience;
4 And patience,
experience; and experience, hope:
We have been made right in God’s sight by our faith in his
promise. We are justified freely by His grace.
So we can have real peace with Him, not the kind of peace
the world offers, but real satisfying peace of God.
Why? Because of what Jesus Christ, our Lord has done for us.
Gods grace has brought us into the place where we now stand.
2nd Corinthians 12:9 says my grace is sufficient for thee, for my
strength is made perfect in weakness. There we can rejoice in hope of the glory
of God.
In other words we can look forward to becoming all that God
wants us to be: Because of His grace, which is His unmerited favor.
We can rejoice even in problems and trials that come,
knowing He will never leave us or forsake us.
Patience helps us to be better people while helping us to
trust God and build faith and hope on His word.
Why are we able to hold our heads high and know all is well?
Because we know that God dearly loves us.
He has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His
love.
Romans 5: 6-8 6 For when we
were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely
for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would
even dare to die.
8 But God
commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died
for us.
We were helpless sinners who had no hope, or use for God,
still he loved us so much he sent his son to redeem us.
Jesus came at just the right time. And died for us, to
purchase us with his blood, as a sacrifice for our sins, and reunite us back to
God our father.
Even if we feel like we are good. We would not expect
someone to die for us.
It is barely possible to believe that someone loves us
enough to die for us.
God showed his great
love for us when he sent son Jesus to die for us while we were still sinners.
Romans 5: 9-11 9 Much more then,
being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if, when
we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more,
being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only
so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now
received the atonement.
He died on the Cross and made us righteous with God the
Father. He did much more for us. He made it possible to escape the future
judgment of Gods wrath which is coming.
Before we were saved we were enemies. We were brought back
by the death of His son,
Now we are friends of God which opens up the way for God to
do much more for us as we walk through this world in His love.
He can rescue us because His eternal life is in us.
Rejoice now in our new relationship with God.
It is all because of what Jesus did, dying for our sins.
He made us friends of God, and now through Gods peace we
have a wonderful future to believe in.
John 14:1-3 14 Let not your
heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my
Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I
go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go
and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, there ye may be also.
John 14: 6 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and
the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14: 27 27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you:
not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.
Praise God for his peace. A peace we can believe in.
