”Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” | Philippians 4: 4-7

Where does a believer find real and genuine peace?

On what foundation can we rest and say in truth, “It is well with my soul?”

I’ll tell you, it lies in this; that we are justified by faith and not by works.

Christ Jesus stood in my stead before God. I was guilty with nothing to pay, doomed to hell; and Christ took my place! He died for me! How can I perish? How can I be punished for sins which have already been laid on Christ and for which He has suffered?

God demands of me that I keep His holy law perfectly.

I cannot do it.

But Christ has kept it for me.

He kept it, magnified it, made it honorable in my flesh. What more can God demand of me? I am washed in the blood of Christ Jesus; I am risen and seated at His right hand in Christ Jesus.

You may ask, “How is all this yours?”

I reply, “By the grace of God, through the merits of Christ, revealed by the Spirit of God THROUGH FAITH!”

God said, “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life.”

I do believe, I sincerely believe in Christ; therefore, I have eternal life.
