Colossians 1:16-18 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
There are two very important things necessary in order to enjoy this relationship our Lord desires to have with mankind.
First, we must experience what the scripture calls PEACE WITH GOD. Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: An individual experiences this peace when they put their faith and trust in Christ alone for salvation. Once a person is saved, they can now experience what the bible calls THE PEACE OF GOD. This peace is spoken of in Phillipians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. We can enjoy our Lords peace as we thank him, and let our request be known unto him. We can live in peace as we submit to the Prince of Peace, the Lord Jesus. Many are looking the world over trying to find peace and happiness. The songwriter said…The only real peace I have, dear Lord is in you.
How true! Do you know Him? Have you experienced peace with God? If the answer is yes, are you walking and talking with Him, living in obedience to Him? If so, why not bow and thank Him for allowing you to have this relationship with Him.
What a privilege! Pastor
