Overwhelmed by His mercy

The Lord showed me this good ole truth anew last Sunday morning...I couldn't explain the peace I felt within as His word revealed to me the peace we had with Him.

Romans 5:1
"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."

What does peace with God mean?

1. It means that our sins were nailed to the cross and not held in accusation against us . "having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross." Col 2:14
2. It means that God no longer sees us as enemies but friends. We are no longer warring with Him but we are found accepted in His sight. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. Romans 5:10
3. It means that we can come boldly to His throne of grace to find grace and mercy in time of need. "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain merch and find grace to help in time of need" Hebrews 4:16
4. It means that in our Christian life on earth, we have the confidence and assurance in all that we do that we will not depart from His will.

All because...of the day we chose to make the Lord - our Saviour.
