God of peace

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: GOD OF PEACE

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

God’s purpose is to give you peace by being the most glorious Person in your life. Five times in the New Testament he is called “the God of peace”
(Romans 15:13; 16 :20; Philippians 4:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 13:20).
And Jesus said, “My peace I give to you” (John 14:27).
And Paul said “Jesus himself is our peace” (Ephesians 2:14).

What this means is that the peace of God, or the peace of Christ, can never be separated from God himself and Christ himself. If we want peace to rule in our lives, God must rule in our lives. Christ must rule in our lives.
God’s purpose is not to give you peace separate from himself. His purpose is to give you peace by being the most glorious Person in your life.

So the key to peace is keeping together what the angels keep together: Glory to God, and peace to man. A heart bent on showing the glory of God, will know the peace of God.

And what holds the two together — God getting glory and us getting peace — is believing or trusting the promises of God obtained by Jesus. Romans 15:13 is one of those fundamental texts pointing to this crucial role of faith.
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing.” In believing. In other words, the way God’s promises become real for us and produce peace in us and through us is “in believing.”

LET US PRAY
LORD JESUS CHRIST, I PRAY FOR EVERY TROUBLE SOUL TO RECEIVE PEACE IN JESUS NAME.
