2 | Why do I try to live in peace? | Heb 12:14 | kalos | 11537 | ||
Steve: Excellent question. Let's look at what the Bible (in Romans 5:1) says on the subject of peace with God. Question: "What about God, do I have to try to live in peace with Him? ... What happens if I do not live in peace with God?" An answer: Rom 5:1 ASV "Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." The sinner may think he is not at war with God, but God is most certainly at war with the sinner. "*peace with God.* Not a subjective, internal sense of calm and serenity, but an external, objective reality. God has declared Himself to be at war with every human being because of man's sinful rebellion against Him and His law (Rom 5:10; compare Rom 1:18; 8:7; Ex 22:24; Deut 32:21,22; Ps 7:11, John 3:36; Eph 5:6)" (p. 1700, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). --JVH0212 "In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, and in all things charity." |

JVH0212, Yes, I also see that I need to be at peace with God, first. If He and I are in conflict - I lose. Then I can be a peacemeaker and try to live in peace with all men. i should not do anything that will cause his peace with me to wane ... even more so, with God. If he does not want peace - I still need to be nice. Steve |
