Another fruit of the Spirit is peace. What brings lasting abiding peace to the Believer? It is certainly not the things of this world. Godly Peace is not found in mere self-esteem or from looking within oneself.
So what does bring the peace that will last and endure in our lives? Consider what Christ has done for us.
- Christ’s Resurrection Brings Peace
Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
John 20:19
- Christ’s Justification Brings Peace
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Romans 5:1
- Christ’s Restoration Brings Peace
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Ephesians 2:14
- Christ’s Refuge Brings Peace
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
Psalm 4:8
- Christ’s Gospel Brings Peace
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Ephesians 6:15
In short, Jesus and Jesus alone brings abiding peace that will remain with us forever!
