Peace With God

True peace comes only from God and not through the works of mankind.

The Bible has a lot to say about peace. In the Bible there are 420 verses with 450 usages of the word "peace" or words about peace. The angels, proclaiming the birth of The Lord Jesus, spoke about peace on earth in

Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

True peace comes only from one source. The Lord Jesus came into the world to bring real peace,

peace from God, peace with God.

This is why the angels spoke of peace at Jesus' birth.

It depends on the peace we think that He brought. The angels proclaimed peace toward men, not among men. The Lord Jesus came to bring peace toward men from outside mankind. He brought peace from God to mankind. The Lord Jesus dealt with the greatest cause of a lack of peace, the thing that ended mankind's peace with God -

Sin.

This is what Jesus told His disciples before He went to die at Calvary. He brings peace from God, not fragile worldly peace that can be broken in a moment. He brings eternal peace that lasts through even the most terrible things that can happen to us and around us. All who believe that The Lord Jesus is God and trust Him to take away their sin and seek to turn from everything that displeases Him receive peace which passes understanding.

Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Peace with God belongs to all such people through what The Lord Jesus has done.

Do you have this peace which passes understanding?
