"BEING justified by faith," we stand in God's presence without a charge against us being possible. Hence we have peace with God—a peace never changed, and unchangeable, because it is founded upon the blessed work of Christ—not founded upon anything in us, or dependent upon our frames and feelings.
There is the peace of communion, which may be broken, but nothing can ever touch this peace with God.
Peace, grace, and glory form a blessed trinity, which God gives us. We have peace to start with. Glory is before us, and there is grace for us all the way between. Grace when we fail or fall; grace to keep us all the way: for God only deals with us in grace. Then comes glory. We are wretched sinners in ourselves, but, being saved, we may say, God can do nothing with us but bring us to glory. For the thief saved by grace, hanging beside the Lord, the only place was glory.
