A believer's PEACE
Where
does a believer find real and genuine peace? On what foundation can
we rest and say in truth, “It is well with my soul?” I’ll
tell you; it lies in thisthat we are JUSTIFIED BY FAITH and not
by works. Christ Jesus stood in my stead before God. I was guilty
with nothing to pay, doomed to Hell; and Christ took my place! He
died for me! How can I perish? How can I be punished for sins which
have already been laid on Christ and for which He has suffered? God
demands of me that I keep His holy law perfectly. I cannot do it. But
Christ has kept it for me.
He
kept it, magnified it, and made it honorable in my flesh. What more
can God demand of me? I am washed in the blood of Christ Jesus; I am
clothed in the righteousness of Christ Jesus; I am risen and seated
at His right hand in Christ Jesus. You may ask, “How is all this
yours?” I reply, “By the grace of God, through the merits
of Christ, revealed by the Spirit of God THROUGH FAITH!” God
said, “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting
life.” I do believe, I sincerely believe in Christ;
therefore, I have eternal life.
