Worthy Peace

Psalm 86:15

But You, O Lord, are a God of

               compassion and mercy,

     slow to get angry and filled with

     unfailing love and faithfulness.  (NLT)

     Our Lord God is gracious and merciful to us because He knows how weak we are when it comes to fighting our temptations to sin.  Because of our sinful condition, most people ignore the ways of God to indulge in the pleasures of sin, whether in ignorance or prideful defiance.  Even though the hearts of mankind are dark and filled with evil, our gracious God provided the Way that would satisfy His anger and cover the sins that would eventually destroy us.  But even though God's Son died for our sins, our rebellion against the Most High God is still the way of most people in this fallen world.  God has been patient, gracious, and merciful to the people of this fallen world, but His patience is running thin, and one day He will put an end to all the rebellion and evil that has cost so many people the very lives of their souls.  

     God offers us the gift of salvation and it would behoove you to accept it while you can and seek His forgiveness, because with God's Truth and Spirit living in you, you will overcome the temptations to sin.  Our weakness to sin is our fallen nature, but the blood of Jesus has covered our sins and given us the Way to defeat the power of sin and the fear of death.  The fight against the forces of evil is futile and hopeless without the divine power of God, because there is no One mightier, more compassionate, or more forgiving than our Lord God and Savior, Jesus Christ.  And when this truth is written on your heart you will be clean and freed from the power of sin.  And that my friend, is a peace worth having.

                                                          

                              A Whisper of Hope

I Am your Redeemer…My child, the only One you can trust with your life.  There is no Power greater than Mine—it is your eternal life-line.  I Am the only Way you can defeat sin and avoid Hell. 

This is the Truth, it's My Word, and this is My Promise to you.

Romans 7:24, 25

Oh, what a miserable person I am!  Who will free me

from this life that is dominated by sin?  Thank God! 

The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord.  (NLT)

   God has purchased our freedom with His blood

                and has forgiven all our sins.
