Romans 5:10 - From Anxiety to Peace.
Romans 5:10 (NIV) For if, when we were God's
enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death
of his Son, how much more, having been
reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
COMMENTARY PEARL
Do you have peace with God?
Its a peace, the Bible says, that
surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7
NKJV).
Theres no relationship with anyone, as
wonderful as they may be, that will give you that
peace. Wealth and possessions wont give you that
peace. Alcohol wont give you that peace. Drugs
wont give you that peace. Philosophy wont give
you that peace. Even religion wont give you
that peace.
Only God can give that peace to you. But
as Ive often said, before you can have peace
with God, you must first have peace with God.
You need to be willing to say, Lord,
Im tired of fighting with You. Im tired of
running from you. I want to know You. I want to be
Your friend.
The apostle Paul wrote, For since our
friendship with God was restored by the death of his
Son while we were still his enemies, we will
certainly be saved through the life of his Son
(Romans 5:10 NLT).
Christ died for us when we were at our
worst, when we were sinners. Thats an amazing
thing. We did nothing to deserve it. In fact, we
were utterly helpless and powerless to resist
Satan and to please God in any way.
Yet God sent His son to die for us. Why?
Because He loves us and so we can have peace with
Him. But you must meet Gods conditions: (1)
admit youre a sinner, (2) turn from that sin,
(3) repent of that sin, and (4) ask Jesus Christ
to come into your life to be your Savior and
Lord.
Are your heart and mind filled with
turmoil, friction, anxiety, fear, and apprehension?
You can replace these with the peace of God
today. Trust in Him, believe in Him, and He will
give you His peace. [Greg Laurie from Harvest
