"I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
I will guide thee with mine eye."

Psalm 32:8


Faith, Hope, and Love

Until the clouds are gone, we cannot see
The sun in glory shining overhead;
But faith holds out her helping hand to me,
And leads me through dark ways that I must tread.

Until earth's sounds are hushed, we cannot hear
The whispers low of God's still, silent voice;
But hope in mercy opens an inner ear,
And whispers words that make my heart rejoice.

And now abideth faith and hope and love;
All three are leading me to God above.
 

-- Adlai Albert Esteb

And My blessing on your offspring"

" Acceptance That Brings Peace"

Can we find peace on our own, apart from God?

Isaiah 48:22     Isaiah 59:7-8

Not at all!  We can never have true peace without the Lord because we are born with a fallen and sinful nature as a result of Adam's disobedience (Romans 5:17-19).  Without Jesus, all we have to look forward to is death and condemnation (Romans 6:23) because each one of us has been separated from God by sin (Romans 3:23, Isaiah 59:1-2).

 


 

What contrast do we find in Romans chapter 8?

Romans 8:5-9

Paul teaches us that there are 2 different types of people: those that are leading a life of selfishness (they are "carnally minded") and those that are being led by the Spirit of God (they are "spiritually minded").  He explains that the spiritual mind can have peace, but the carnal mind is opposed to God because it does not abide by His law (verses 7-8).

 


 

How can we have that Spirit-filled life that brings peace?

Romans 5:1-2     Romans 15:13     Colossians 1:20-22

Jesus came so that we could have peace with His Father!  He took away our filthiness and replaced it with His righteousness so that we can be accepted by God and now we can actually be adopted into His family (Romans 8:16-17, 1 John 3:1).  God not only frees us from the penalty of sin, but He also gives us the Holy Spirit so that we can be empowered to live a holy life
(Titus 2:11-14, 2 Peter 1:2-3).

 


 

What is the Lord known as?

1 Thessalonians 5:23     Isaiah 9:6     Philippians 4:9

 


 

What does the Bible promise us?

Psalm 29:11     2 John 1:3

Peace is a gift from God; He's the only reliable source!

 


 

How do the Scriptures describe this peace?

Philippians 4:7     John 16:33

It's so fulfilling that it can't even be fully understood!  Jesus also comforts us by promising that His peace can carry us through any type of trial (John 14:27).

 


 

When it comes to peace, what should we do as Christians?

Romans 14:19     Psalm 34:14     Hebrews 12:14     Romans 12:18

The Word of God tells us that we should be seeking and pursing peace.  Paul also advises us to live in peace with those around us.

 


 

What will our experience with other Christians be like if we live by these principles of peace?

Ephesians 4:1-6     2 Corinthians 13:11

We will have the unity of the Holy Spirit that the Apostles had (Acts 2:44-47).  Can you imagine how much different our churches would be if we were all "of one mind"?  Friends, this is what God is calling us to (Colossians 3:15)!
