Part I: How To Establish Peace With God<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What is peace?<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What comes to mind when you hear the word peace? A little peace and quiet? A break from work or the kids? Maybe you envision tranquility: a little Zen music, a massage or contemplation by the beach or a forest stream. Maybe it\u2019s relational peace? No gossip, no fighting, no drama, no tension. Or maybe you think globally? No more holocausts, apartheids, genocides, or threats of nuclear war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Scripture, peace is primarily about the presence of something\u2014or someone. True peace is found in God. Peace comes in the restoration of what sin has broken. Perfect peace is a complete rearrangement, a return to God\u2019s good order and design. It is the absence of what should be absent and the presence of what should be present. Everything in its proper place. Everything made whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hebrew word for peace is shalom. It occurs 236 times in the Old Testament and it speaks not only of calmness but of completeness. This is the Biblical definition of peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Job once described his household as being in shalom because nothing was missing. David asked his brothers about their shalom in the middle of battle. When Solomon finished the temple, he brought shalom to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To shalom something is to restore it, to make it whole again. When God created the world, He created it whole and complete. But sin shattered that wholeness. There was once harmony, but now hostility. There used to be intimacy with God, but sin created separation and alienation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After sinning, Adam and Eve hid from God because sin had separated them from him. To Adam and Eve, God promised that the woman would bring forth a seed who would “crush the head of the serpent.\u201d Ultimately the seed is none other than Jesus Christ. Isaiah the prophet called Jesus \u201cthe prince of peace Jesus.\u201d In fact, when Jesus was born, the angels erupted with the announcement: \u201cGlory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.\u201d (Luke 2:14)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did Jesus bring about this peace? The angels didn\u2019t just pronounce it, Jesus had to procure it. He accomplished this long-prophesied peace through His life, death, and resurrection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gospel of peace is the starting point for every soul that longs for peace. But before we can receive it, we have to recognize why we need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Do We Need Peace With God?<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Matthew Henry once asked, \u201cWhat peace can they have who are not at peace with God?\u201d The answer is that there is no peace without God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real peace, the kind that quiets guilt, steadies the soul, and gives strength in trusting God in difficult times, cannot exist apart from peace with God. Why? Because our greatest problem is not emotional or political or psychological\u2014it is relational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our restlessness begins with our rebellion. Until we are reconciled with our Creator, no amount of comfort can truly calm our fears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We may try to mask our unrest with achievement or apathy but as long as sin remains undealt with, the conscience will whisper, \u201cYou\u2019re not right and you\u2019re not alright. You\u2019re not safe.\u201d And the truth is that the conscience is telling the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want the peace of God, you must first make peace with God. Not peace with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bible teaches that sin has created a chasm between us and God. Romans 5:10 says that before any of us come to Christ we are enemies. Enemies are not passively indifferent. They\u2019re in a perpetual state of active animosity. Before coming to Christ, the Bible calls us rebels, lawbreakers, and insurgents in God’s kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romans 3:23 says, \u201cFor all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God\u201d. That means no one slides into this world safe. We all begin estranged from God and in a state of war against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

War with God is a war no man can win. God is holy. Man is guilty. And no matter how loving God is, He\u2019ll never overlook our rebellion, because He\u2019s also just. That\u2019s why peace in the Bible is described as something impossible from our side. We can’t bribe a holy God with good behavior. We can’t cover our guilt with resolutions and rituals. If peace is going to be established, it must come from God\u2019s initiative. He must move first. And He has. God sent His Son into this world to make peace. What we needed was someone to negotiate and accomplish a peace treaty. That is what Christianity offers; a peace treaty written in Christ\u2019s blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the foundation of every kind of peace you could ever hope to experience. Until the war with God is over, peace is just a figment of your imagination. You might have moments of quiet, but you won\u2019t find rest. You may numb your guilt, but you can never remove it. Peace begins at the cross, because that\u2019s where the hostility ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Can R<\/em><\/strong>ebels <\/em><\/strong>Be M<\/em><\/strong>ade <\/em><\/strong>Right With A H<\/em><\/strong>oly God?<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Romans 5:1 puts it this way: \u201cTherefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.\u201d God justifies sinners. He declares them righteous through faith in Christ, not because they deserve it, but because of what His Son has done. Jesus stepped into the courtroom, took our place, and received the full verdict. God didn\u2019t overlook the charges or lower his holy standard. He satisfied justice through substitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the cross, Jesus absorbed the wrath we had earned. He bore the curse. He fulfilled the law. He paid the debt in full. When you believe Him, you are united to Him. His death counts for you. His life covers yours. The Judge now declares you \u201crighteous.\u201d And where justification is pronounced, peace begins. This is the ultimate act of reconciliation with God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This peace is not a fleeting feeling\u2014it\u2019s an objective reality. It doesn\u2019t waver with your circumstances. It is rooted in the finished work of Christ and secured by the righteous verdict of God Himself. When God declares you righteous that is a legal, spiritual, and eternal verdict. He\u2019s no longer against you, He is for you. Fully. Forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why would God do this? Why move toward those who opposed Him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romans 5:8 gives the answer: \u201cBut God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.\u201d God didn\u2019t wait for us to clean ourselves up. He didn\u2019t demand change before dishing out grace. He gave grace to produce change. And that\u2019s the heart of what does the Bible say about peace. Jesus didn\u2019t just point the way to peace. He walked the road to Calvary and purchased peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you’ve made peace with God, you\u2019re no longer His enemy. Instead, you\u2019re His child. The war is over. The verdict is in. You are justified. But justification isn\u2019t the end of the story. It\u2019s the beginning of a new kind of life; a life where God not only removes hostility but fills your soul with peace. This is where we move from peace with God to the peace of God. The peace with God is legal, objective, unchanging. It\u2019s grounded in Christ\u2019s work and sealed by His righteousness. The peace of God is personal, protected, and perpetual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussion and Reflection:<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. What are some of the counterfeit forms of peace you are most tempted to chase?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. In what ways has hardship exposed what you really trust in?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Have you made peace with God, or are you still trying to earn His approval?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. How would your day-to-day mindset change if you truly believed God was now your friend?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Parte II: How To Experience The Peace Of God<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The Peace of God Is Personal<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Philippians 4:9 says, \u201cThe things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.\u201d Peace is personal. It\u2019s palpable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    God doesn\u2019t just deliver peace to you like an Amazon delivery man brings you a package. Peace comes from His presence. Peace flows from your relationship with Him. Paul doesn\u2019t simply say, \u201cpeace will be with you\u201d like its an abstract, impersonal feeling. No, he tells us how peace is with us: \u201cthe God of peace will be with you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So we don\u2019t just get relief, we get relationship. We don\u2019t just get a feeling, we get the Father. This is how we experience the peace of God. For those in the military, especially wives and children, you know this well. When dad is deployed for months or even years, are you content with just a memory of him? Does a photo, a letter, or even a good feeling replace his presence? No! You want your husband or father in the flesh. Why? Because His nearness brings comfort. His voice brings peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Awhile ago I came upon a video on YouTube titled, \u201cSergeant Surprises Son in Taekwondo Lesson.\u201d In this video, you see a dad, back from a year\u2019s deployment, sparring with his son who is blindfolded. And as they exchange blows his dad says, \u201cKeep your hands up Chip.\u201d The boy can\u2019t see his dad but when his dad repeats the instructions, \u201cKeep your hands up Chip\u201d the boy recognizes his voice, immediately takes off his blindfold, sees his dad and rushes him for a hug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are times when God feels distant to us but we can be assured that He is always right there with us. His voice is always speaking reassurance to us through His eternal word. He has promised to be with us always and we can be confident that His presence is our peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The psalmist said in Psalm 73:28, \u201cBut as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have set Lord Yahweh as my refuge, That I may recount all Your works.\u201d God is my refuge, and Ephesians 2:14 says \u201cHe, Himself is our peace\u201d and where He is, peace reigns. This is why Paul says, “The Lord is near” (Philippians 4:5). He is not far off. He draws near to dwell with His people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is why peace cannot be sustained apart from walking closely with Christ. The further you drift from Him, the more peace slips through your fingers. Not because He moves away, but because you lose sight of the One who is your refuge. He has promised never to leave you or forsake you and as you abide in Him, you will experience His peace. This is the heart of quiet time with God. The peace of God is personal in that it is experienced in the personal presence of Immanuel, God with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Peace of God Is Protected<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Not only is God\u2019s peace present and personal, it is also powerfully protected. Philippians 4:7, \u201cAnd the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Have you considered what it means that the peace of God surpasses all comprehension? It is a peace that surpasses understanding, not because it\u2019s irrational, but because it exceeds the limits of what human reason can produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When life unravels, this peace doesn\u2019t just feel strong, it is strong. When you lose your job and wonder how in the world you\u2019re going to survive, God is right there to protect your peace. When you are in the hospital room and you get the diagnosis, God is by your side, protecting your peace. When you are at the graveside and the loss has finally hit you, He is nearer to you than you realize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    God\u2019s peace doesn\u2019t erase hardship, but it upholds you in trusting God in difficult times. It doesn\u2019t make you forget your pain, but it helps you process the pain in light of His promises. This peace is not a trick of the mind\u2014it\u2019s the work of the Spirit. So many believers struggle because they expect peace to alleviate all trouble. But the peace of God is often experienced most in the midst of trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Peace of God Is Perpetual<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The peace of God is personal, it is protected and it is perpetual. Once it has taken hold of you, it never lets you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Isaiah 54:10 \u201cFor the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, But My lovingkindness will not be removed from you, And My covenant of peace will not be shaken,\u201d Says Yahweh who has compassion on you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When you have peace with God, it doesn\u2019t fade with time or fluctuate with your emotions. Peace ages well. It doesn\u2019t wrinkle, fade, or weaken. Peace with God isn\u2019t a one-time experience at conversion or something you used to have. It is a present and permanent reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Your justified status means you don\u2019t have to worry about drifting in and out of peace with God because you\u2019re anchored to Him. Romans 5:10 spells this out: \u201cFor if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The death of Christ made peace. The life of Christ keeps it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Jesus said in John 14:27, \u201cPeace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The world\u2019s peace is circumstantial. God\u2019s peace is covenantal. Once He has given it, He doesn\u2019t revoke it. Christ\u2019s resurrection and the presence of His indwelling Spirit is your seal and guarantee. Because the Spirit of God has permanently taken up residence in our hearts we will always have peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Christ purchased your peace at great price, you can be sure that He will now preserve it. Not only does he preserve it, He nurtures and cultivates it as you submit to His indwelling Spirit. Paul tells us in Romans 15:13 that this peace flows from hope and joy through the power of the Holy Spirit: \u201cNow may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You will have ups and downs in life\u2019s circumstances and in your emotional strength, but peace is a fixed promise rooted in God\u2019s character. His peace will never leave you because He will never leave you (Hebrews 13:5). That doesn\u2019t mean your peace will never waver, it just means that when it does, you can remember and reassure yourself of what does the Bible say about peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And that leads us to our next question: how to find inner peace? If justification is the root, then the growing in Christ is the fruit. So let\u2019s look now at how to strengthen our experience of the peace of God, not just in principle, but in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Pray About Everything<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    If you want to walk in the peace of God, you must learn to bring everything to God in prayer. Not just the big things. Not just the emergencies. Everything! That includes your anxious thoughts, your restless nights, and your wandering mind. The Lord tells us exactly what we\u2019re to do with all our anxious thoughts in Philippians 4:6\u20137 \u201cBe anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So according to Paul, the peace of God doesn\u2019t come by figuring everything out by yourself. It comes by laying everything down. When your anxieties begin to rise in your heart and that little voice in your head begins to rehearse your fears, you need to be reminded that God wants you to come to Him in prayer. Not because He\u2019s unaware of what\u2019s going on, but so you can be reminded of who He is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Prayer is your weapon of warfare against anxiety. When Martin Luther faced intense spiritual opposition, he would often say, \u201cCome, let us sing a psalm and drive away the devil.\u201d How often do the songs you sing, remind you of the truth you often forget?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There\u2019s just something about good hymns that help us remember who God is and what He\u2019s done. We need good music to preach to our worries. We need tested lyrics to redirect our thoughts when our emotions are all over the map. God\u2019s promise to you is if you bring your burdens to Him instead of trying to bear them alone and if you choose prayer over panic, you will have peace. Do you want to better experience God\u2019s peace? Sing more! Seriously, sing more. Make your songs your prayers. Sing and cry out, \u201cLord, I believe! Help my unbelief!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Is your sin shouting that you are guilty? Sing: \u201cBecause the sinless Savior died, My sinful soul is counted free.\u201d Are you tempted to doubt God\u2019s love? Remember your adoption: \u201cMy name is graven on His hands, My name is written on His heart. “I know that while in heav\u2019n He stands, No tongue can bid me thence depart;\u201d Does your past accuse you? Rest in this: \u201cMy sin\u2014oh, the bliss of this glorious thought\u2014My sin, not in part but the whole, Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Praying through good songs will quiet your heart and keep you from stumbling away from peace. So sing and pray without ceasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ponder What Is True<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    If prayer helps you see clearly, pondering truth will help you walk correctly. Philippians 4:8 \u201cFinally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is dignified, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, consider these things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The battle for peace is often won or lost in the mind. The Spirit uses truth to displace lies. This is the process of renewing the mind Bible style. When your mind is renewed with the promises of God\u2019s Word, your soul learns to rest; even when circumstances scream otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But if you allow your mind to be cluttered with worries, doubts, and the subtle whispers of falsehood, you will struggle to experience peace. Consider the conversations you have with yourself. Is the most negative person in your life you? Do you hear that inner voice telling you, \u201cYou’re a failure,” or “You’re alone,” or “No one deals with what you deal with or feels how you feel\u201d? Lies don’t just hover outside your mind’s door; they want to break in and live there permanently. Satan, the pull of sin, and your own self-doubt will constantly try to convince you that God’s Word can’t be trusted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is why the prophet Isaiah says Isaiah 26:3 \u201cThe one steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, because he trusts in You.\u201d God does more than just guard our hearts; He actively guards our minds. But notice, He doesn’t guard every mind; He guards the one that stays fixed on Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That doesn\u2019t happen by accident. You must fight for it. You must deliberately choose what you dwell on. You\u2019ll experience the profound peace of God and it will settle in your soul but only when you silence the lies going on in your head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Your thoughts lead to emotions and those emotions lead to actions. What you believe in those quiet, unguarded moments will profoundly shape how you respond when chaos hits. If you believe God is distant, you’ll feel abandoned and alone. But if you truly believe He is a sure and steady anchor then your soul will be stabilized, leading to a peaceful heart. Peace doesn’t grow out of mere positive thinking\u2014it grows out of solid truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How can you experience more of the peace of God in your life? Pray about everything and regularly ponder what is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Practice What You Know<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    If prayer helps you see clearly, pondering truth will help you walk correctly. Philippians 4:8 \u201cFinally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is dignified, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, consider these things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Part III: How To Enjoy The God Of Peace<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      In that great martial arts film, Kung Fu Panda, there is a scene where Master Shifu is trying to help Po focus and find how to find inner peace. Po plops himself under a cherry blossom tree to meditate and says, \u201cAlright Universe give me some guidance.\u201d Then he repeats the mantra: \u201cInner peace\u2026 inner peace\u2026 inner peace\u2026\u201d But his mind begins to wander and his \u201cinner peace\u201d turns into \u201cDinner, please,\u201d then \u201cdinner with peas\u201d then \u201csnow peas\u2026with a sesame soy glaze!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I\u2019m guessing we all identify with Po more than we\u2019d like to admit. Our minds often wander while praying or reading the Bible. And if you\u2019re anything like me, and Po\u2026 it\u2019s probably wandering off to the next thing you plan to put in your belly. We may start off well-intentioned. We silence our heart and pray with sincerity. But soon we\u2019re pulled back into the distractions of life. Schedules, notifications, anxieties, ambitions. Our longing for peace gets hijacked by our appetite for control or comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      But here\u2019s the good news: God\u2019s peace isn\u2019t something we generate. It\u2019s something we receive by enjoying Him. Apart from Christ, there is no communion, no closeness, no enjoyment of the God of hope. It is through His blood that peace was made (Col. 1:20), and it is through abiding in Him that we experience the joy and rest of that peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It\u2019s with that we now turn our attention to the acronym P.E.A.C.E. to help us more easily remember the relational and experiential joy of walking with God. This acronym provides us with five ways we can enjoy the God of peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      P \u2013 Pursue Christ\u2019s Presence<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Psalm 16:11, \u201cYou will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.\u201d In this passage, David is praying to Yahweh, his covenant-keeping God. Throughout the Psalm you can hear David\u2019s intimacy with his God. He\u2019s not speculating; he has absolute confidence in Yahweh. What specifically is he confident about? It says that Yahweh will make known to him the path of life. The verb for \u201cmake known\u201d implies revelation, guidance and teaching. God isn’t distant or silent. He personally and particularly shows David the way. It’s not as if God is just pointing and giving directions. Instead, God is leading the way and illumining the path so David can walk uprightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The only way you can be sure you\u2019re on the right path is to walk in God\u2019s presence. When David says \u201cin your presence\u201d it literally reads \u201cbefore Your face.\u201d This is personal, relational nearness to God. This is not some vague idea of God but an actual dwelling with God\u2014a nearness to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I remember one of my college basketball coaches getting on my case one day during a timeout because he thought I was being lazy on defense. He got in my face and said, \u201cPeppermint.\u201d I said, \u201cWhat?\u201d He said, \u201cPeppermint. That\u2019s the kind of gum you\u2019re chewing. I want you to be so close to number 10 that you know what kind of gum he\u2019s chewing. You have to get up in his face. I want his girlfriend in the stands to be jealous of how close you are to him. Get up in his face!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I think we\u2019d be much happier Christians if we had more face-to-face contact with God. This is the essence of quiet time with God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Consider Psalm 16:11 again. What is the inevitable result of this \u201cface to face\u201d communion with God? The Psalmist sings, \u201cIn your presence there is fullness of joy!\u201d Notice the sense of wholeness that the Psalmist communicates here. The word for \u201cfullness\u201d means abundance, satisfaction, complete contentment; there is no lack. You can be sure that nothing God provides is lacking or incomplete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you are chasing happiness in the world, you will find (if you haven\u2019t already!) that it will always run faster than you. But here, the Psalmist shares with us a joy that doesn\u2019t run away from us but to us. God\u2019s presence isn\u2019t like a sprinkling of rain that just passes by, it\u2019s like a spring of living water that never runs dry. It provides deep, soul-stirring satisfaction that endures and overflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Psalmist expresses this abundance like this, Psalm 4:7 \u201cYou have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and new wine abound.\u201d Jesus offers even more clarity about the source of the joy and the degree of joy provided in John 15:11, \u201cThese things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.\u201d Our joy is made full, complete, and perfect in His joy. Jesus shares with us His own perfect, supernatural, eternal joy. This leads to a truly peaceful heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This is God\u2019s astounding promise to us: Romans 14:17, \u201cfor the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Consider the conclusion of Psalm 16:11, \u201cIn Your right hand there are pleasures forever.\u201d Psalm 16:11 reminds us that we don\u2019t have our own individual measure of joy as Christians but we have access to the source who supplies and sustains infinite joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Moses once said, \u201cIf Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here\u201d (Exodus 33:15). Peter later echoed this same sentiment, \u201cLord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.\u201d Moses and Peter both wanted to be in God\u2019s presence continually. They each understood that their greatest joy was where God is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To enjoy the God of peace, you must first and foremost desire His presence. The feeling of peace is really not your main aim. Christ\u2019s presence is your main aim. When we prioritize nearness with Christ, we position ourselves to receive His peace, which flows from His very being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Therefore, we do well to beware of two dangers that want to disrupt our peace: distance and distraction. We see this illustrated for us in the example of Mary and Martha. Martha was so distracted that it distanced her from Christ. The more she was removed from His presence, the more restless she became. She was not at peace. Instead, she was anxious, and her anxiety also led to a rift in her relationship with her sister. She had lost peace internally and externally. Mary, on the other hand, was at perfect peace. She had chosen the better portion\u2014proximity to Christ by sitting at his feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      All through Scripture we read that there is great reward when we draw near to Christ. James 4:8 promises, \u201cDraw near to God and He will draw near to you.\u201d We are even told how we are to draw near. Hebrews 10:22 exhorts, \u201clet us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.\u201d Through Christ, we have bold access to draw near to the God of peace. This is the beauty of peace in the Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How are we to draw near to God? With a sincere heart and a sure faith. A daily disciplined Bible diet is certainly a wise practice. But communion with God goes beyond your morning ritual of coffee and a devotional. Don\u2019t be too quick to mark Jesus off your to-do list with your daily devo duty. Linger long in His presence. Make sure that you are making time for unhurried prayer and silent reflection. The key is quality communion. The enemy knows that the busier you are the less spiritual delight and peace you will enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We must allow time for our hearts to be captivated by His beauty. To truly enjoy the God of peace, we must lift our eyes and exalt in Christ\u2019s glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      E – Exalt in Christ\u2019s Glory<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      We were made to behold glory, and the supreme glory of God is revealed in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 puts it this way: \u201cFor God, who said, \u201cLight shall shine out of darkness,\u201d is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.\u201d John 1:14 also reveals that God\u2019s glory is revealed to us in Christ:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cAnd the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Let every sermon you hear, every hymn you sing, and every Scripture you ponder be a fresh look at the radiance of Christ. The more clearly we behold the glory of Christ, the more our hearts are quieted in peace. His glory steadies us. His glory lifts our eyes from earthly shadows and reminds us that our joy is rooted in the unchanging beauty of Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We reflect what we remain focused on. If we keep our eyes on Jesus, His character will be seen in our quiet, steady, confidence – the presence of His peace. This is the peace of God at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A \u2013 Abide in Christ\u2019s Word<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      You cannot exalt in Christ\u2019s glory without abiding in Christ\u2019s Word. Jesus Himself said, \u201cMan shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God\u201d (Matt 4:4). Just as the body cannot thrive without daily bread, the soul is directionless and cannot flourish without daily communion in the Word. Jesus said, \u201cThese things I have spoken to you, so that in me you may have peace\u201d (John 16:33). Jesus words are instruments of peace. His words steady our emotions, anchor our thoughts and shape our desires. In a world where your mind is pulled in a thousand different directions, abiding in Christ\u2019s Word provides clarity, stability, and rest. This is why renewing the mind Bible instructions are so critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Paul makes this connection between the peace of Christ and the word of Christ in Colossians 3:15\u201316, \u201cAnd let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body, and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with gratefulness in your hearts to God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The peace of Christ rules in the heart when the Word of Christ richly dwells in the mind. Nothing else can effectively remove the noise of the world and fix your attention on the truth that brings peace and freedom like the word of God (John 8:31\u201332).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Scripture brings a fortifying peace\u2014a resilience that does not stumble even in difficulty. Do you long for the kind of stability that does not waver with the winds of circumstance? Saturate yourself in the Scriptures, not to check a box, but to commune with Christ Himself. Listen to this amazing promise: John 15:7 \u201cIf you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.\u201d To abide is to remain, to dwell, to live in. Jesus doesn\u2019t want us to just window shop, He wants us to take up residence in the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The more we are in the word, the more He shapes our worldview. The more we view the world through His eyes, the more He fuels our affections. And what is the result? Our desires and wishes become aligned with His own desires. As He grants those desires we experience His blessings. This is part of trusting God in difficult times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Cultivate rhythms of rich, unhurried saturation in Scripture. Read slowly. Meditate deeply. Memorize faithfully. Let the Word dwell in you richly because where His Word is, there His presence is known and His peace is felt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      C \u2013 Communion with Christ\u2019s People<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      The peace of God is not given for private enjoyment alone. God intends for that peace to flourish in fellowship. To enjoy the God of peace more fully, we must walk in communion with the people of peace. The God of peace has not called us to a private peace, but to a shared peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      One of the great lies of our age is that peace is found in retreating from people. But biblical peace is deeply relational. You cannot fully enjoy the God of peace without walking closely with those who, like you, have been united to Christ through His blood. If you want to be face to face with Christ, you must be face to face with His body \u2013 the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Let me illustrate it this way. I\u2019m a lifelong Laker fan. You could say it\u2019s in my blood. I was at Laker games while still in my mother\u2019s womb. When I talk about the Lakers, I don\u2019t say \u201cthe Lakers,\u201d I say \u201cmy Lakers.\u201d I say, \u201cWe\u201d have 17 championships. I say, \u201cWe,\u201d not the Celtics, have had the greatest teams ever assembled. That\u2019s how deep the identification runs. But I no longer live in Los Angeles. I live in Warrior territory now. So when I see someone walking down the street wearing the Purple and Gold, there\u2019s an instant connection\u2014a fist bump, a nod, maybe even a full conversation rehashing the glory days of Magic or Kobe. Total strangers feel like long-lost friends because we share the same allegiance. It\u2019s camaraderie based on a shared loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Now, if that\u2019s true over something as temporary and trivial as my favorite basketball team, how much more should it be true for Christians united to Christ? We\u2019re not just rooting for the same team\u2014we\u2019ve been redeemed by the same Savior, baptized into the same body, and adopted by the same Father. We don\u2019t just share a jersey\u2014we share Christ Himself. We\u2019re bound together not by loyalty to a franchise, but by the blood of the cross. So when you walk into a local church as a Christian, you\u2019re not walking into a crowd of strangers\u2014 you\u2019re walking into a family reunion. That older man you barely know is your brother. That younger woman is your sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Cross doesn\u2019t just create vertical peace, it also creates horizontal peace. The New Testament makes it unmistakably clear\u2014Jesus didn\u2019t just reconcile us to God; He reconciled us to one another. Ephesians 2:14, \u201cFor He Himself is our peace, who made both groups one and broke down the dividing wall of the partition\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In the first-century world, few divisions were deeper than the hostility between Jews and Gentiles. But Paul declares something stunning here about Jesus: \u201cHe Himself is our peace.\u201d He doesn\u2019t say Jesus brings peace, or He teaches peace, but He\u2019s the very person who embodies and secures peace. He is peace personified. Jesus “made both groups one\u201d. This is supernatural. He creates a new humanity in Himself (Ephesians 2:15). Our unity is not a compromise but a new creation. This is the heart of reconciliation with God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Now this side of the cross, Paul can say: Galatians 3:28, \u201cThere is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If Christ broke down the dividing wall, the church is the evidence that it\u2019s truly gone. The church is not only the recipient of peace, it is the display of peace. Every local church is a visible declaration that Christ\u2019s reconciling work is real. This is the Gospel of Peace in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Consider the following passages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Ephesians 4:3 \u201cBeing diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Philippians 2:1 \u201c\u2026being united in spirit, thinking on one purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Romans 14:19 \u201cSo then let us pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We live in a world of shallow connections. You can now access good sermons, podcasts, and worship music without ever entering a church or engaging in real relationships. But God’s design is not just for you to be informed, but to be transformed in community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Hebrews 10:24\u201325 exhorts, \u201cAnd let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.\u201d Acts 2:46\u201347, \u201cAnd daily devoting themselves with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number daily those who were being saved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Communion with Christ\u2019s people is not optional\u2014it is essential for enjoying the God of peace. The church is where love, accountability, service, joy, and mutual encouragement take root and grow. Where else on earth does that happen? What else on earth has the power to take enemies and make them family? Apart from the gospel what can bring such perfect unity out of dramatic diversity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      What Christ creates in the church is not just the ability to tolerate one another. He creates a deep, joyful, sacrificial, gospel-rooted peace that unifies. Politics and policies can\u2019t produce that kind of peace. Only the precious blood of Christ has that power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      E \u2013 Entrust Everything to Christ<\/em><\/strong>\u2019s Care<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      As we walk in fellowship with God\u2019s people, we taste the joy and stability that shared peace brings. But even in community, our hearts still wrestle with worry and fear. So if we are to enjoy the God of peace continually, we must learn to entrust everything to Christ\u2019s sovereign hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It\u2019s going to be difficult for you to enjoy God if you want to control God. I don\u2019t think anyone would admit to wanting to control God but we all want to control our circumstances. We want to control people and outcomes. We want to control the future. And yet, this level of control is impossible for us. In fact, coming to Christ means surrendering the illusion of control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To enjoy the God of peace, you must cast your cares on Christ, and leave them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Jesus is the only source and sovereign sustainer of our peace. He holds the universe in His hands and He holds your future, your fears, your family, your friends, your finances, and whatever else comes to the forefront of your mind. When you embrace trust in this Jesus, peace envelops you. It is a peace that surpasses understanding. When you stop rehearsing what-ifs and start rejoicing in what is, your soul will be at rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It is fascinating to follow the fear of the disciples throughout Jesus\u2019 ministry. Throughout the Gospels, the disciples were often restless due to fear, anxiety, or confusion. Their lack of peace was not because Christ was absent, but because they failed to trust Him. Whether it was fear of storms, lack of food, suffering, persecution, or some other type of uncertainty, their troubled hearts revealed a lack of confidence in Christ. They doubted His power, His provision, His wisdom, His presence, or His plan. In each moment, Jesus gently corrected them; not merely by solving their problem, but by revealing more of Himself. The consistent lesson is this: peace comes not from changed circumstances, but from a growing trust in the character of Christ. To enjoy the God of peace, we must entrust ourselves fully to Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 5:7 \u201cCasting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cCasting\u201d means to throw upon, to hurl something decisively away from oneself. It\u2019s a strong, vivid verb that pictures a conscious act of release. The God of peace urges us to hurl our burdens onto His capable shoulders. Psalm 55:22 \u201cCast your burden upon Yahweh and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Peter tells us we can cast all our anxieties on Jesus\u2014every care, every worry, every concern, anything that causes you to divide your mind or distract your heart. Anything that keeps you up at night. You don\u2019t have to try to manage your feelings. You can take all your real and raw feelings and cast them on Christ \u201cbecause He cares for you\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This is the ground of the command. Why should we cast our anxieties on Him? Because He cares. Not with a casual interest but with watchful, attentive concern \u201cfor you\u201d. He doesn\u2019t just care about problems in general, but about you specifically. You\u2019re not casting your anxiety into the void\u2014you\u2019re giving it to a God who loves you, sees you, knows you, and bears your burdens. There is no detail of your life too small for His loving concern. This is what it looks like when God is my refuge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Conclusion: God\u2019S Peace Is Real, And You Can Know It<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      We\u2019ve seen that peace like a river isn\u2019t found in a mindset or a mood, but in a man. In Jesus Christ, we don\u2019t just receive peace we receive the God of peace Himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Frances Havergal believed that. She wrote the words to her famous hymn, \u2018Like a River Glorious\u2019, not from a place of comfort, but out of a life poured out in service to Christ. Her final days were marked by physical weakness, but her soul was as strong as could be. On her deathbed at just forty-two years old, one of her doctors said to her as he left her room, \u201cGood-bye, I shall not see you again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      She said, \u201cThen you really think I am going?\u201d He replied, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cToday?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cProbably.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cBeautiful,\u201d she said, \u201ctoo good to be true.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Soon afterward she looked up smiling and said, \u201cSplendid to be so near the gates of heaven!\u201d She asked her brother to sing some hymns to her, then he said to her, \u201cYou have talked and written a great deal about the King, and you will soon see Him in his beauty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cIt\u2019s splendid!\u201d she replied. \u201cI thought He would have left me here a long while; but He is so good to take me now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A little later she whispered, \u201cCome, Lord Jesus, come and fetch me.\u201d And she sang one of her own songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Jesus, I will trust Thee,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Trust Thee with my soul:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Guilty, lost, and helpless,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Thou hast made me whole:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      There is none in heaven,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Or on earth, like thee;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Thou has died for sinners,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Therefore, Lord for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      That is the joy of the believer; not merely that we get peace, but that we get Christ. And if you have Him, you have everything. You have a peace that stays through suffering, deepens in dying, and exults in eternity. Let us enjoy, not just what Christ gives, but Christ Himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest, Finding as He promised, perfect peace and rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
