Do you trust with all your heart the PEACE OFFERING that God Himself has all His confidence in and has ordained and performed for our peace with God thru Christ? Or do you still seek to (by your own good works) to MAKE your own peace with God? If you are still striving to obtain your own kind of covenant peace with God by your own efforts or by the sacrifice of your own self, then you are falling from grace and falling short of the glory of God in this most important peace with God matter.
Jesus said in John 14:27 that His covenant peace is a given peace, not an earned one (THAT'S IMPORTANT). We are not talking here about a peace that the world gives that is always measures by AN EMOTIONAL REST, but we are talking about a MIGHTY COVENANT PEACE which is FAR BETTER. For a covenant peace has benefits now in our walk and relationship with God on earth in this life and it also has the power to fully extend all its peace glory into all eternity. The worlds kind of peace COULD NEVER reach such heights nor lengths.
Covenant peace brings us every kind of peace when by faith accepted and received and when by faith walked in. When you find out that Jesus is your peace with God and that you have in Christ a covenant of everlasting peace with God (Isaiah 54:7-10) and that God is not angry with you or us anymore being fully satisfied with the blood of His Sons Peace Offering, friend when you really SEE THIS TRUTH, your emotions of peace will really start to line up by the truth. That peace truth will set you free.
Our peace that we have with God in Christ and by Christ is measured in Christ very own words. In John 14:27 Jesus said, PEACE I leave with you, MY PEACE I give you....Wow now that is peace. Matter of fact that is the highest peace in ALL CREATION. Jesus' peace is the greatest peace that can exist. His peace is His Peace WITH GOD and it is literally the peace of God that passeth all human understanding measures. It is the very peace of Jesus and it is also the very peace that Jesus has with the Father. It is not a worked for peace as many so often strive for in religious hard labors, but it is by the Word Of The Lord a GIVEN PEACE. Peace Jesus said I leave you, MY OWN PEACE I GIVE YOU.
Christ sacrifice of himself was a peace offering and our text says that Jesus obtained peace for us with God thru the blood of His Cross. Nothing we do changes that peace because this peace we are speaking of was an OBTAINED PEACE solely on the merit of the mighty sacrifice of Christ. He was a peace offering. If the peace offering of Christ was not accepted by God then God would not have raised His Son from the dead. But Christ is risen indeed therefore the peace offering has been fully accepted by God Himself. Well SINCE GOD THE HIGHEST OF ALL ACCEPTED THE PEACE OFFERING IN FULL, who are we to belittle its peace power and peace with God glory?
Romans 5:1) Therefore being justified by faith (faith in what?) Faith in the peace offering of Christ). Therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God THRU OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST....
Ephesians 2:13-18.....New King James Version (NKJV)
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Christ Our Peace
14 For He (Jesus Himself) is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.....
Lord Jesus I accept you as being my PEACE AND MY PEACE WITH GOD....For the Father accepted you and your peace offering first (THE SACRIFICE OF YOURSELF) and we (The Church) second the motion.....Amen.....So Be It......deno.
