Peace (12)
9.4K
Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace, because He takes away sin; and you and I are workers for peace when we preach His Gospel, which is the Gospel of peace just because it is the Gospel of deliverance from sin. Sin means war, and where sin is, there will war be. Righteousness means peace, and
there can never be peace where righteousness has not first been
realized.Faith and Life
A shoe may be smooth and neat outside, while inside it pinches the flesh. Outwardly there may be great calmness and stillness, yet within amazing confusion, bitterness, disturbance and vexation.
The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment
faith is tossed about by various doubts, so that the minds of the godly are rarely at peace - at least they do not always enjoy a peaceful state. But whatever siege engines may shake them, they either rise up out of the very gulf of temptations, or stand fast upon their watch.
peace with God is a calm, intelligent sense of friendship with the Lord of heaven and earth. He that has it, feels as if there was no barrier and separation between himself and his holy Maker. He can think of himself as under the eye of an all-seeing Being, and yet not feel afraid.
It is only when the world
shall come to know the Lord and obey Him, that the peace of God
can settle down upon it. We may cry, "Peace, peace," and there be no
peace. But he who cries, "Righteousness, righteousness," will find
that he has brought peace to the earth in precisely the measure in
which he has brought righteousness.Faith and Life
He works best for the world's peace who works for the world's righteousness.Faith and Life
If we thoroughly understand and believe what power is in God's hand to defend us, what tenderness is in His heart to help us, what faithfulness is in His promises, our hearts will be calm - our courage will grow stronger and our fear will grow weaker.Triumphing over Sinful Fear, 29
God can't give us peace and happiness apart from Himself because there is no such thing.
There is no peace like the peace of those whose minds are possessed with full assurance that they have known God, and God has known them, and that this relationship guarantees God's favor to them in life, through death and on for ever.
If God be our God he will do more for us than all the world besides can. What is that? [I] He will give us peace in trouble. When there is a storm without, he will make music within. The world can create trouble in peace, but God can create peace in trouble.The Ten Commandments, 20
Peace comes from God alone, since the fall has made us prone to wars and fightings (James 4:1-3). Peace, as all other blessings of salvation, makes us like God. So like all other blessings of salvation and Christian virtues, peace among men is the reflection of God's own nature; it is a divine attribute. God is completely at peace with himself.Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Christian Belief (Kindle Locations 7386-7389). P&R Publishing. Kindle Edition.
