Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. – Romans 5:1
Peace with God is the most important type of peace. From that stems peace with ourselves and peace with other people. If we have true peace. We don’t need to worry. Romans 8:28.
“Why do we worry? Because we do not believe.” – The Practice of Godliness- Jerry Bridges, p.158.
When we begin to worry, we need to remember John 14:1, “Let not your hearts be troubled. You believe in God.” (ESV and footnote) Our reason for not worrying, stems from our belief in God. He has saved us from God’s wrath. He will be faithful.
Proverbs 6:16-19
16 There are six things the LORD hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
Peace within the body is a result of peace with God. It shows the love and unity… Christ and the Church, or similarly husband and wife.
