Peace

What a thought: To have peace with God. What does it require to have peace with God? We have to be cleansed from our filth and sin. To eat at the Lord's table, we must be washed clean. Making peace with God isn't a two way compromise. If God ever lowered his standards to be at peace, he wouldn't be God. To earn peace with God, I would have to have always lived righteously: I don't get more chances than Adam did. But I'm not perfect. My hope of peace with God is utterly dependent upon Jesus being true and loving me. Oh what a blissful thought there is peace between me and the Thrice Holy God. Now I can sing: "My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness".
