Dear friend,
Never be at war with one who is infinitely more powerful than you are. You stand to lose. And to think that there is no one more powerful than you are is sheer foolishness. Not, nor be interested, to know how we are related to the greatest of them all is to live in uncertainty. What if we are at war with him while we live. Wouldn't that be terribly dangerous?
But on the other hand, if such a One is our Friend, yea, "our peace" (Eph. 2:14), then we can live confidently and thankfully all the days of our life. There is none greater than God Almighty. For God to be our peace, it means that we, who offend Him, must have been reconciled to Him. "God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself." (2Co. 5:19) We must forsake our sins and trust in Christ as he alone can reconcile us to God.
In Christ alone, we, therefore, have peace. "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (Joh. 14:27) The world gives a type of peace which is not the true peace nor will it deceptive quietness last. There shall simply be no peace to the wicked. There is no other way to peace except in the way of repentance of sins towards God and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.
Are you at war with God or is He your peace in Jesus Christ?
