The Apostle Paul introduces us to our second phrase when he declares that
believers have “Peace With God.” While we may live in light of the fact that
world peace continues to elude us, we can have Peace With God through our
Lord Jesus Christ. If we have This Peace, everything can collapse around us,
but we have The Assurance That nothing will ever separate us from The Love
Of God In Christ Jesus.
I am sure most of us have heard it said at one time or another: “It’s high
time they made their peace with God.” Those who try to make their peace
with God are to be pitied. There are literally millions at this very hour who
are striving for this peace, but they will not find it because they are search-
ing in all the wrong places.
They are seeking it in their own strength and wisdom, and the end result
will be disillusionment. How is This Peace obtained? Allow me to begin by
showing how It is not obtained.
“Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of Grace,
but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him
That Justifieth the ungodly, his faith Is Counted For Righteousness”
(Rom. 4:4,5).
First we learn that you cannot receive Peace With God on our own merit. It
is not possible to obtain This Peace through good works, repetitious prayers,
fasting, or confirmation. As a matter of fact, you can go to church services
every day of your life and not experience This Peace.
Secondly, you cannot acquire This Peace by keeping ordinances such as
circumcision or water baptism. You can have all the oceans of the water
poured over you, but it will never grant you the forgiveness of your sins
or Peace With God. Lastly, you can try your very best to keep all 613
commandments and ordinances contained in the Law of Moses, and
for all your efforts you will still not enjoy This Peace.
How do we receive Peace With God? By faith—if we simply believe that
Christ Died for our sins and Rose again, not only Are we Justified Freely
By His Grace, we also Receive Assurance that we Are Right With God.
This means that God Has nothing against us, Having Judged our sins at
Calvary. The believer can never again be brought into danger of the
hellfire judgment to come. God Is At Rest With us Forever.
