Peace
|
We must learn to maintain peace in three important relationships: with God, with our fellow man,
and with ourselves. We maintain peace with God by believing and trusting Him. We maintain
peace with our fellow man by not allowing strife to be a part of our relationships with
other people. We maintain peace with ourselves by refusing to live in guilt or condemnation thus
recognizing that God is greater than all of our sins.
This kind of peace doesn't come through drugs, alcohol, sex, wealth, or entertainment. It is a supernatural
(not worldly) peace that is a gift of God
(John 14:27).
The spiritual fruit of peace results from being justified by faith
(Romans 5:1).
and loving God's law.
(Psalm 119:165)
This is a peace that surpasses all human understanding, and it keeps your heart and
mind through Christ Jesus
(Philippians 4:7)
