Peace in Him through faith

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:1)

O

ur hope in Christ makes us be at peace with God in all ramifications. We have a hope to fellowship with Him having the confidence that the grace in His blood had parted the barrier between God and man. We should be aware that this grace is associated with our faith in Jesus and not our righteousness.

There is assurance of Joy in the Lord even in the midst of our enemies; our hope in Christ has connected us with God to the extent that we can live peaceably with enemies without us being hurt or endangered.

Our faith in Christ makes our ways pleasing in the presence of God of which in a way make us live peaceably among our enemies.

Hebrews 11:6 “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”

Proverbs 16:7 “When a man's ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.”

This same faith in Christ gives us Joy and assurance that when faced by challenges, something great is coming and we will have peace that the challenges are transient and not for long.

Dear reader I trust you have been blessed this morning. Grow your hope in Christ today. In Him dwells peace. He is the portal to endless peace from God the father.

Prayer: Father, Let my faith grow so big in you so that I will have access to your endless peace in Jesus Name.
