Peace, Patience, and Hope
Dearly beloved of God, our God is the God of peace, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.
There are two realities. The reality of Christ's accomplishments is an accomplished reality. The reality of our current experiences may fluctuate, and the outcome in them depends on whether we believe the accomplished reality or not.
Jesus Christ made peace between God and us. He justified us from sin, therefore we have peace with Him. Peace is the result of the forgiveness we enjoy with God.
There is no more strife between God and us: peace is an accomplished reality.
There is no more strife between God and us: peace is an accomplished reality.
You are no longer without God, dead in sin, and His enemy, you are His dearly beloved and highly favored child.
Whether we live with peace in our lives or we do not, depends on whether we hold these truths in mind and believe them.
In the world we will have tribulations, mental pressures. In Christ we have peace.
When we believe Jesus Christ's accomplished realities we could walk in the midst of hell and have peace.
Since we believe that Christ will return to gather us up to glory we can have peace today. We frame our lives with that reality.
God called us to acquire the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is an accomplished reality and we should live our lives in light of that reality.
We are born again and have eternal life, and we will be transformed to have glorious new bodies like Christ's at his coming. We will stand before the Lord at the Bema. We have the ages to come to anticipate the exceeding riches of His grace displayed in kindness to us in Christ Jesus. Walk with earnest expectation of this reality.
The situations we face today are only momentary, they are fleeting, but the reality of eternity will never end. Walk in light of it. Not even death can defeat us.
Patience is a bearing up under pressure, it is patient endurance. It is staying power in the face of the tribulations of this evil world.
I pray that the Lord directs your heart into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ, dearly beloved. He is coming; it is an accomplished reality from God's point of view. It is only a matter of time.
Until that glorious day, be patient, and live in the reality of God's peace. Press toward the mark for the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus.
God is not angry with you; Christ made peace between us. Do not believe otherwise; the adversary is a liar.
You are the Father's dearly beloved and highly favored child.
There is nothing good He will withhold from you, so walk in the good pleasure of His will, and enjoy His fellowship while you anticipate Christ's coming with great expectations. It is a glory walk dear ones.
