“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”
Romans 5:1-2
Mankind has his or her plans, thoughts, solutions and ideas when it comes to peace in the world. They say, “Give peace a chance”. Each generation seems to have their own ambassadors of peace. Politicians, performers and activist present their good intentions. Some say that through philanthropy peace will be bought and certainly achieved. Others try random acts of kindness; the thought is that the kindness that one shows to another will be as a seed planted in their heart and peace will be the end result spreading from one person to the next. There will never be lasting peace in or through any of these plans or philosophies.
True peace will only be known through the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto to the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). Sin brought separation from God and in such separation there is no peace. The Lord Jesus made the way for peace through bloody Calvary. Try as one might they will never be satisfied by turning to a bottle, pleasure, money or any other worldly endeavor in their search for peace. Sin will never bring peace. Never!
Showing kindness to others and giving to those in need are wonderful things to do when one wants to be a help to those around them or in distant places, but real peace will only be a reality when one is born again. That is true peace and life at its best.
