PEACE is a condition, not a feeling. The peace of the Christian is assured in Jesus Christ, who is our peace. When we lay down our arms of rebellion against God, and accept of Christ, we have peace. It matters not what we may feel, or what the devil may say, there is peace between us and God. Let us therefore enjoy the rest which peace brings.

We may know that we have peace with God as surely as we know that our heart is surrendered to God’s will as given in His word. If we are disposed to ignore that word, to slight its requirements, to belittle its commands, we are still at war with God. The carnal mind is still dominant. Rom. 8:7. Peace comes with absolute surrender.
