For He Himself is our peace and our bond of unity.
Ephesians 2:14AMP
In Ephesians 2, Paul recalls the hostility that existed between Jews and gentiles before Jesus reconciled them to each other and to peace with God (vv. 11–15). This war was won, however, at a tremendous price. The forgiveness that made a relationship with God available, and the reconciliation that’s now possible between us all, came through Jesus’ torturous death (v. 16). The peace of the gospel came at a cost.
Christ is the donor of peace, of external peace in his churches, and of internal peace of conscience, and of eternal peace in heaven:
Bible Hub
Justification through faith in Jesus Christ provides us peace with God and access to Him. This amazing gift allows us to enter a relationship with our Heavenly Father and experience His presence, power, and love. Our circumstances do not limit our access to God; whether in hope or affliction, we can always confidently approach Him. Do you understand your place with God? Do you come to Him freely? Do you come to Him even when you know you are in sin? Come to Him today, knowing Christ paid for your sins and granted access to the Father
Daily Prayer and Declaration: Dear God. Thank you that you give us the gift of peace through Jesus. I pray that you would calm my restless mind and help me to fix my eyes on Jesus today. In Jesus Name. Amen.
I am not moved by what I feel. I am not moved by what I see. I am moved only by the Word of God, and it says I am an overcomer!
Daily Actions:Where and when do you feel closest to God? How can you remind yourself that this peace exists because of Jesus’ work on the cross? Jesus, my peace came at the cost of Your agony. I never want to take that for granted. Thank You.
