At Peace with God
We can have true and lasting peace in our hearts by understanding, and believing, that God will always provide every need of His children in Christ Jesus. The evil one would have us believe that it is a hopeless case – whether it be food on the table, enough money to keep the electricity on, or any number of other basic life needs. Although God provides our needs in perfect timing, there is a caveat – we must listen attentively and obey His will for our lives. We cannot expect a loving Father to continually provide for a son or daughter whom continually do things “our own way”, without even a thought of what His will is for us.
How do we know what the will of the Father is?
The answer lies in the same principles as any of our worldly personal relationships; in order to determine His will for every aspect of our life, we must know God and develop an intimate relationship with Him.
How do we develop a personal relationship with God?
God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to bridge the gap between Him and mankind in order to re-establish the prospect of a personal relationship with Him. Not only did Jesus Christ fulfill His mission of being the substitutionary sacrifice for our sins (thus bridging the gap), but He also became our example of how to live a godly life. In order to have a personal relationship with God, we must become disciples of Christ. The Word (Jesus Christ) states:
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me…If you know Me, you will also know My Father.” ~ John 14:6-7
The word prospect was mentioned above because God created free-will in us. All of us – either through action or inaction – decide whether we will accept the redemption that God has provided in order to reconcile us to Him. A personal relationship with anyone is only obtainable by making the conscience decision to go for it, and strive to know, understand, and appease the one that we desire to have the relationship with.
How do we get to know God, the Father?
God has provided His Word (Jesus Christ – the Messiah) in a Holy Spirit inspired literal form called the Bible. The Bible is the most printed and translated book of all time. Throughout thousands of years Satan has attempted to destroy it, and its message – but God has kept that from happening. In order to know God, and understand His will for us, we must read His Word and ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten us. God is faithful to His Word – and will draw near to us in a personal relationship – if we are willing:
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” ~ James 4:8
