Peace With God

“Behold the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.” (Isaiah 59:1).

Adam separated himself and all of mankind from the peace of God by his original sin. By his one sinful act he destroyed the wonderful, daily fellowship he had with his Creator and ever since humanity has been trying to re-establish this relationship of peace with its Maker. We have been trying to blot out this curse from Adam’s sin against God. And, since we are separated from God we cannot automatically experience His healing peace. But, just as there is hopeless death in Adam, we can have salvation through Christ! (Read Romans 5: 12-18.)

Surely, our way of finding peace with God does not work! (Proverbs 14:12) says, “There is a way that seems right to man, but its end is the way of death.” We must admit that ever since Adam, we (humanity) have been trying to rise above our confusion, our sickness and our separation from our heavenly Father. God’s Word explains what we must do to regain our peace with Him. (Romans 5:1) explains “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

When we accept the sacrifice of death Christ made for us on the cross we not only have peace with God, we have the peace of God. We are healed of our original sin when we accept His Son Jesus Christ and receive Him into our hearts. We can then come to Him in prayer asking Him to forgive us of our sins – we can then also ask for our healing. God wants us to be healed! Christ died for our sins and for our healing. Jesus Christ is the way to our peace with God.

Our confidence now established, we read how the apostle Paul asked, “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” He then answers his own question, “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?”

We have peace with God because we have Jesus! Amen.

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...
