The source of Peace

Short and simple.

Desiring to be at peace with God ought to be the most important peace we desire, more than the peace we desire within ourselves and with our neighbors.

The only way to have peace with God, is through Jesus.

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

You CAN have peace with God through Jesus. It's a peace unlike any other peace imaginable. There isn't an adequate way to describe the inner peace Jesus gives to those who accept him as their personal Lord and Savior.

Through Jesus, a person can be at peace with God. Peace means to not be in conflict against God because our sins are forgiven through Jesus' sacrificial dying on the cross at Calvary, and we can have no fear of death any longer. (spiritual death). Those who believe will enjoy eternal, spiritual life because your spirit will have been quickened (made alive) by the Holy Spirit, the same power that raised Jesus from death.

That's some special kind of peace. And a special kind of life to look forward to in God's Kingdom.

Throughout history, does it look like peace is on the horizon between people living on this planet? No, people like conflicts, so peace isn't possible.
Peace is always out of grasp because the ingredient for peace can only come about through one Way.

Jesus offers peace because He is the source of Peace.
Jesus is the source of all good and all love.

My paraphrase-You're at peace with God when you have the Son whom God has given all authority to. (John 3:34-36)

Look at these scriptures on peace.
