  HE IS OUR PEACE The gospel is termed the gospel of peace for very important reasons (see Ephesians 6:15 and Romans 10:15). First, we need to understand that, the word of God which is the gospel, also means good news! I bet no good news should leave us terrified, perplexed or disturbed, rather a good news must bring peace and assurance of good things into our life.  The gospel is the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ to the whole world. And the consciousness of this news brings life and peace to us.  If anyone truly comes to comprehend the gospel of Jesus Christ , such a person would experience the peace of God like never before. This is the kind of peace which Jesus spoke about when he said “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” John‬ ‭14:27‬ ‭NLT‬‬.  So you see, knowing Jesus personally brings such an inner peace into your life which no one can in this world. But the question is d

To be justified is simply to be declared just or right. It is a legal term signifying acquittal from any charges or offends that were leveled against someone. Hence to be justified is to be declared righteous in the sight of God.  The Bible makes us understand that, this blessing was bestowed on us through the work of Jesus Christ, “who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.” Romans‬ ‭4:25‬ ‭KJV‬‬. Now in plain language “Jesus was handed over to be crucified for the forgiveness of our sins and was raised back to life to prove that he had made us right with God!” Romans‬ ‭4:25‬ ‭TPT‬‬.  So you see, Jesus’s main work on earth was to make us right with God! He came to break the barrier of sin that separated us from God and to establish a new relationship between us and the father, on his account,  not on ours! This this the big deal. And He truly finished it.  “One man’s(Adam’s) disobedience opened the door for all humanity to become sinners. So also o

 Man’s definition of righteousness is not the same as God’s definition of righteousness. Men are always struggling to attain God’s standard of righteousness by their works, yet when God puts his standard of weighing scale against man’s effort this is what He says; “For we have all become like one who is unclean [ceremonially, like a leper], and all our righteousness (our best deeds of rightness and justice) is like filthy rags or a polluted garment; we all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away [far from God's favor, hurrying us toward destruction]. [Lev. 13:45, 46.]” Isaiah‬ ‭64:6‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ Interestingly, the message Bible puts it this way, We are all sin-infected and sin contaminated! “  So then what do you think can make a fallen man right before God? Certainly only God has the power to declare one as righteous in accordance to the high standard of his righteousness.  And the good news is, He has chosen to impute this graciousness to us by FAITH in Him
