Remain In Peace


     We have looked at God’s design this week, the beauty of His creation, His loving design for our lives and His beautiful picture of the unity of the church. This fallen world will one day soon be brought to its end and the new heaven and the new earth will be revealed. We wait in anticipation for our eternal home filled with joy, wonder, peace and love. Peter wrote about this future awaiting us:

But in keeping with His promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells. So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless, and at perfect peace with Him. 2 Peter 3:13-14

     In Christ, we remain at peace. Jesus has made each of us a new creation at the moment we believed. We are justified (just as if we had never sinned) because of His great sacrifice and death. His shed blood offers complete forgiveness. A new heaven and a new earth await. In the meantime, remain at peace with the One of your heart.

Father,

Remind us to be grateful for the creation around us and for the new creation to come. We are Yours both now and forevermore. Please open more hearts and minds to You.

In Jesus name,

Amen
