Green : Peace

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

Have you ever pondered what it means to have peace with God?

>As a Christian, I no longer am under God’s wrath. I will never know His wrath.

>One day, I will enter heaven, walk those streets of gold, and bask in the very presence of God.

“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in His flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that He might create in Himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. And He came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. For through Him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.” (Ephesians 2:13-18)

I am brought near.

I am reconciled to God.

I have access to the Father.

I have peace.
