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
