LIGHT FOR THE NOW: We can only have peace with God when we are justified by faith.
The
faith of a believer in the finished work of Christ brokers peace between him
and God the Father. The mission of Christ on earth and even now in heaven was,
and still is, to reconcile man with God and bring man back into the union of
the Spirit with the Father. In our text for today, Apostle Paul by the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit explains that what makes us to have peace with
God is the justification that comes by faith. This is why in Hebrews 11:6, the
Bible says that without faith, it is impossible to please God. Having believed
in the finished work of Christ, you are justified and therefore have peace with
God by your faith. After the fall of Adam, man could not do anything to please
God. God had to send Christ to be man’s substitute so man as Christ pleases
Him, whosoever is in Christ can please Him too.
The
Bible says in Hebrews 2:13, “But now in Christ Jesus ye who were
sometimes far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ”. Also,
Colossians 1:20-23 says, “And having made peace through the blood of
his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether
they be things in earth, or things in heaven….” The death, burial and
resurrection of Jesus Christ has created a platform for man to have peace with
God through his shed blood, and is seated right now on the right hand of His
Father, your Father, making intercessions for you. God has made available His
perfect peace to you in Christ.
INSTRUCTION:
Enjoy the peace Christ has wrought for you.
PRAYER: The Lord of peace Himself will give you peace
by all means, in Jesus Name. Amen.
QUOTE: You cannot please God outside Christ.
