Most people yearn for one thing more that anything else: inner peace. Without it, there is no lasting joy or security. The Bible defines peace in three main ways.
- Spiritual Peace – Peace between God and man
- Psychological Peace – Peace within
- Rational Peace – Peace among mankind
Sin has destroyed or seriously affected all three of these types of peace. When ma was created, he was at peace with God, with himself, and with others. But when man rebelled against God, man lost peace in every way, these types of peace can be restored. But man cannot bring this about no matter how we try, but God certainly can. and has.
Through Jesus there is power to overcome every sin. He can break the chains of sin, but man has to confess, repent, and surrender to God first. It can be settled right now and everyone can enjoy peace and joy.
In John 16:33 Jesus says, “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace.” We have a peace keeper. God is the source of our peace, no matter what type we are having a lack.
