The Peace of God.

By British Messenger

How very few attain and preserve in their consciences, the sense of God's being perfectly at peace with them! It ought to rule there always and by all means; but, for want of it, they afford continual occasion for a legal and unbelieving spirit to rob them of their peace, and thereby distress them in their hearts. As guilt comes in love goes out. What weakens the cause must also weaken the effect. Love with its fruits must decrease in proportion as the believer withdraws his heart-dependence from God. "Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God."—British Messenger.
