When we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, an exchange takes place. We give him our sins and he forgives us and makes us right with God (see 2 Corinthians 5:21). There is nothing we can do to earn this. Only through Christ can we be made right in God’s eyes. What an incredible bargain for us! But sadly, many still choose to pass by this gift to continue “enjoying “ their sin. Peace with God means that we have been reconciled with Him. Peace with God is possible only because Jesus paid the price for our sins through His death on the cross. We enjoy the peace that comes from being made right with God, but we still face daily problems that often help us grow. If we remember these two sides of the Christian life, we will not be discouraged as we face temptations and problems. Instead we will learn to depend on the power available to us from Christ who lives in us by the Holy Spirit (reference Romans 4:25 - 5:5).
Today, we build upon the message shared by our NCC Church Board Chairman (posted below)
