If we want the peace of God, we must first have peace with God. Jesus promised to give us His peace and that is wonderful but you must be a child of God, adopted into the family by the Holy Spirit through belief in Jesus Christ to have it! There is no formula or certain task you have to perform other than your conviction that you need Jesus and your positive response to that conviction.
In life, we have so many areas where we have to perform just to get a promotion or even a job. Salvation is a gift from God by our acceptance of Jesus as our Savior through faith in Him. There is no formula or any special act or anything that we can do to “help” Jesus in the saving of our souls. He has already taken care of the “act” that was needed to do that, all we have to do is choose to accept His gift to us…period.
What is “peace with God”? It is the joy of knowing that you are His and nothing can take you out of His hand! Once you have accepted Jesus as your Savior and prayed for understanding His Word and really studied the Bible some, you will have that joy and peace that no one outside the family of God can know or even understand. I pray that many people will recognize that they need Jesus as their Savior because we are on the verge of the prophecies found in the Bible regarding what most people view as the “end of days” or that is foretold in the Book of Revelation. Don’t dismiss this article as someone trying to instill fear about our future. The prophecy is real and every one of them in the Bible has come true except for those near the end…which is where we are now.
