Peace with God

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. – Romans 5:1

What an absolutely amazing verse!

We are justified by faith, and through Jesus we have peace with God. Peace with God.

I have fought with God, really big battles. I have felt very much at war with Him, even. And that is ok, by the way. Nothing wrong with fighting with God – He wants us to question everything, so He can come and reveal unto us His plans, His greatness and His might. But during those times, it is not His fault that I am at war with Him. It’s mine.

There are things that I question, that I am unhappy with, that I want to change.

But He is always there – waiting for me to come back to Him. He always sends answers. He always makes a way. And then I can be at peace again. Did He change? No. I did.

This little verse says that we have peace with God.

By faith, through Jesus Christ.

I don’t even know what more to say… This is such an huge concept for me, that I can’t even quite grasp it. Despite everything I have done, haven’t done, will do, good or bad, right or wrong… my faith justifies me through Jesus, and that means I have peace with God.

Not will get, when I do this or that.

I have it already.
