Before one can have the peace of God he first must be at peace with God. Jehovah, the Almighty Creator, in His loving kindness, has provided the way for establishing such peace. All the human race, being born in sin and shapen in iniquity, are at enmity with God.
When one is tired and sick of being separated from God, and has the desire to come into harmony with Him, Jehovah, the great and loving God, draws him to Jesus.
The means of our peace with God is through the Lord Jesus, our Redeemer. Of him it was written: “He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him.” (Isaiah 53: 5)
He was put to death for our sins, He was raised again for our justification, by which means He brings us to peace with God. “But now in Christ Jesus you, who in the past were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace.” (Ephesians 2: 13, 14)
From the one who presents himself in full consecration to the Lord, trusting in the merit of Christ Jesus’ sacrifice, the Lord will in no wise turn away. Such a one is seeking peace with God. When the Lord Jesus becomes his Advocate and presents him to the Father, and the Father justifies him, then is made true the statement of St. Paul: “Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1)
This is the one and only way that leads to peace with God.
He will then seek to study God’s inspired Word, the Holy Scriptures, and draw from them the principles of living that will make him a close copy of Christ, full of wisdom, justice and love, ready to shine the Light of Christ on others, for the glory of God.
