Peace
In the Bible, grace and peace are closely connected. Many of the New Testament letters actually use this phrase as a greeting: “Grace and peace to you”. This connection is meaningful.
The basic problem of humanity is that we naturally are not at peace with God. Sin has destroyed the relationship, and we are worthy of God’s wrath. In 1 Corinthians 15:24-25, we read about Jesus as a King who is going to destroy every rule and every authority and power and will put all his enemies under his feet. This problem of our enmity against God thus has to be solved first before we can ever experience lasting peace.
This is where grace comes in. By dying in our place, Jesus has reconciled believers to God. Through faith in Him, we can now be at peace with God. The relationship is restored, so that we can “with confidence draw near to the throne of grace” (Hebrews 4:16) and know that – whatever may happen – nothing can separate us from the love of God.
Are you at peace with God?
