PEACE

He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds. —Titus 2:14

We were dead in sin, separated from God and children of wrath (Ephesians 2:1-3). Jesus was our “Peace Child” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfjYFcLdEJ0 . Through Him we have peace with God (Romans 5:1) and in Him we can have the “peace of God which passes all understanding” (Philippians 4:6-7). When we begin to grasp what this means we are overwhelmed with gratitude.

God brought us into peace with Himself, no longer His enemies (Romans 5:10). We are created in Christ Jesus for good works (Ephesians 2:10). God has purpose and plan for us and it is up to us to be faithful to it. Are you and I committed to serve the One who freed us from sin, made us His very own people and has designed specific purposes for us? May we be!

Dear Father, may I truly have a heart filled with gratitude and committed to the purpose and plan You have for my life. May I truly live these purposes by the Holy Spirit’s power and in the authority of Jesus.
