Tag: What the Bible says about finding peace in God

John 14:27 (NKJV) 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Peace: freedom from disturbance; tranquility, restfulness, lack of anxiety.

The world pursues peace. We hear about it literally every day on a global level.

Individuals pursue peace on a personal level. We all desire peace in one way or another.

And yet peace seems to elude most who seek it. Why? Because most of us look for it in the wrong places or by the wrong means.

True, lasting peace only comes from one Source; Jesus Christ.

When we commune with God, we become one with Him. His spirit gives us peace of mind. But it gives so much more.

God gives us freedom, through Christ; release from the things that try to weigh us down and keep us in bondage.

Think about it. The world has removed God from just about everything they can remove Him from. They’ve kicked Him out. And yet they still seek peace, to no avail.

Church, we have the key to peace; Jesus.

It’s up to us to share this peace with others. We do this by living it out on a daily basis, loving people, demonstrating His peace in our everyday lives, even when the world seems like it’s falling apart.

There is much to be said for being a walking, talking testimony of His love, which brings a peace that surpasses understanding!

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
