PEACE

Matthew 5:9 God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.
The Father is the great Peace Maker.  But, that peace came at a great cost. 
Colossians 1 teaches us that the cost to God of reconciling (making peace) with us was Jesus Christ’s death on the Cross. 

Jesus has enabled anyone who will trust Him for forgiveness and healing and freedom, to be at peace with God.
2 Corinthians 5:20. “So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”

Only when our hearts are ruled by God’s Love are we given the hope that transcends emotion or circumstance.

  “…we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts…” Romans 5:3-5

Proverbs 1:33 But whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.    

 

One thing that people all over the world today are striving for is security, but here is an offer of total security.

You’ll live in safety; you’ll be at ease, without fear of harm. Not merely will you be physically safe, but you’ll be free from worry and anxiety and care.

What’s the secret?
*The secret is listening to the right voice.
*That’s the voice of divine wisdom speaking through the pages of Scripture, offering that promise of total security and ongoing, uninterrupted emotional stability and peace.

How can you find that?

*You can’t find it in the world’s system, in the world’s provisions.

*The world can offer temporary stability, temporary security, but nothing that’s permanent.

***The only pathway to permanent stability, security, peace of mind is to listen to the voice of divine wisdom speaking through the pages of Scripture and then to do what wisdom enjoys.

 

John 14:27 “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.

*The peace can only be made with our dependence to God.
