Romans 5:1
1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
They say war is Hell. The Bible makes it clear that war with God will inevitably end up in Hell. He is always undefeated, a perfect record against all challengers. His enemies have to be a hopeless, pitiable rabble. How terrifying then that God considers us His enemies. We rebel and rebel and disregard and disrespect Him in 1,000 ways daily. Being His enemy, what incredible joy would we have in finding peace with Him?
An old preacher said, “Peace is joy at rest. Joy is peace dancing.” In Christ, we are either resting in peace or whirling around changing the world with joy. God Has made peace with us through Jesus. He took His own Son and paid our debt of Hell on the cross. We need to more regularly honor God for that peace and relish the sensation of a cease-fire with the All-Powerful.
Prayer prompt: Lord, thank You for giving me peace and making peace at such an unimaginable cost.
