We Can Have Peace
When we trust God, it brings divine peace. God loves His Children (Us.)
This happens when we give our lives to God through Jesus our Lord and King of eternity. Jesus tells us that He is the way the truth and the life, and that no human comes to the Father except through Him. Jesus in the Gospel as John tells us in Chapter 3:
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
In Ephesians 2, This is the free gift as Paul says, 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
This is my life. I am a backslider, a sinner, and I fall well beyond the Glory of Christ as said in Romans 3:23 that, For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
I’ve heard and hear people say, “What a good person he or she is. He or she gives lots of money to help others. He or She is well known for volunteering and doing other things.” It saddens me! Why? Because “Good Deeds and Good Tidings” will not bring you closer to Jesus.
While I and you do good things in this world and is what Jesus ask of us. This however, Good Deeds, is only worldly beings. Please don’t misunderstand me. We have consequences where our thoughts and actions meet reality.
Reality of our consequences is two things, Human Life and Eternal Life. Human Life, is now, here in the world as Human Form in which Titus 3 has a whole way of telling you and I, that it’s not going to work. “Titus 3:5 states, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
We can't always foresee all the consequences of our actions and trying to be 100% sure we are doing the right thing 100% of the time, would lead us to anxiety and indecisiveness. However, when you & I understand this, we see as parents in this world, care for our children by washing them when they get dirty. This is what Jesus did on the Cross. God too washes us when we get dirty because we are human where He is not. Jesus is perfect where we are not and Jesus knows this.
Of course, you and I need to seek to please our Father in Heaven at all times and to keep growing in His name. This is why God’s mercies are never ending upon Us as to give us this salvation that no other person can, Eternal Life.
Thank You Jesus.
