You know, the bible teaches us in (2 Pet. 1:2) that grace and peace are multiplied through the knowledge of God and the Lord Jesus. In (Rom 5:1) that being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
God is no longer angry or separated from humanity because of sin, but on the contrary, we have been reconciled back to God through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The one thing that stood between us and our Heavenly Father and the relationship that He desires to have with us, has now been taken out of the way. (Eph 2:15) by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace,
We now have Peace With God because His great work of redemption through Christ. God loves more than earthly words can describe, and it is not His will that any should perish but that all might receive eternal life.
Peace is a fruit of the Spirit (Gal.5:22) and once we realize that God is no longer mad at us because of sin we can enjoy a relationship of not only knowing Him, but knowing His peace also.
One of the greatest scriptures in the word of God tells us that Jesus not only took away our sins but in fact became sin for us. (2Cr 5:21) For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Now since we have been made the righteousness of God in Him, we share in all the promises and benefits that have been awarded to Christ for what He accomplished on the cross.
2Cr 1:20 NKJV - For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
Eph 1:3 NLT - How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we belong to Christ.
2Pe 1:3 NKJV - His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,
Understanding what God has done in and through Jesus Christ is the key that unlocks the truth about His marvelous peace. Understanding what He has done in us through Christ is the key to receiving all that God has promised in His word.
In the message below I talk about receiving the Peace of God through the grace of God.
