Why We Have Peace In ChristRomans 5:1 (King James Version) 1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:Why do we have peace, rest, and security in Jesus Christ?A survey of Scripture provides a number of reasons.OUR ADVERSARY HAS BEEN DEFEAT-EDWe have been delivered from the clutches of Satan. Our father was Satan (John 8:44) and now in Christ our heavenly Father is God (John 1:12). We have gone from one destiny to another.John 3:18 (King James Version) 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.The power of Satan and sin over the lives of Christians has been broken. We are like prisoners that have been delivered from prison and the enemy has been defeated.Romans 6:6 (King James Version) 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.Romans 6:18 (KJV) 18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. Romans 8:37 (KJV) 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 1 John 5:4 (KJV) 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. OUR AWARENESS HAS BEEN ACTIVAT-EDHave you ever walked in a dark house or cave? You don't know where you are going or what is around you. It is not a very peaceful, restful circumstance, is it? This is a perfect description of a person before he is saved. He is walking in darkness, thus, has no peace. In Christ, Proverbs 4:19 (KJV) 19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. Isaiah 59:9 (KJV) 9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness. we have a purpose, we have a path and direction.2 Corinthians 4:6 (KJV) 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Luke 1:78-79 (KJV) 78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, 79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. OUR ANXIETIES CAN BE DELEGAT-EDNothing is so calming and restful as to be able to delegate a problem to someone who can solve them. The pressure is lifted. You can, if you want to, take your burdens, fears, and worries to the Lord. He will bare your heavy load. 1 Peter 5:7 (KJV) 7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Psalm 37:7 (KJV) 7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.OUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN compensat-edHave you ever had a long standing bill that you finally paid off? All the long hours of work and praying paid off. What a relief, We have peace in Christ and our sin debt is paid! The debt for sin is death.Proverbs 11:19 (King James Version) 19 As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death. Isaiah 59:8 (King James Version) 8 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.The wicked know no peace because of sin.The price for our sin has been paid and our sin account with God is settled when we trust Christ as our Savior.Romans 5:1 (King James Version) 1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: ................
