Gal. 5:22-26
The peace of God is the peace of assurance (Rom 8:28). It is the peace of unquestionable confidence; the peace with a sure knowledge that one’s life is in the hands of God and that all things will work out for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose.
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Rom.8:28).
The peace of God is the peace of intimacy with God (Ph.4:6-7). It is the peace of the highest good. It is the peace that settles the mind, strengthens the will, and establishes the heart.
There is the source of peace. Peace is always born out of reconciliation. Its source is found only in the reconciliation wrought by Jesus Christ. Peace always has to do with personal relationships: a man’s relationship to himself, to God, and to his fellow men.
A man must be bound, woven, and joined together with himself in order to have peace.
A man must be bound, woven, and joined together with God in order to have peace.
A man must be bound, woven, and joined together with his fellow man to have peace.
“But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one (both Jew and Gentile, all men), and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us” (Eph.2:13-14).
“And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled” (Col.1:20-21) (to be continued).
May the Lord Jesus Christ bless, strengthen, keep and heal you is my prayer. May you have a wonderful day in Jesus.
