The Ground of Peace.

MANY of God’s people are in distress of soul because they fail to take their stand upon Christ and Christ’s work as their only ground of peace and security. The Lord has by His death reconciled us to God, and now we live in Him, who lives to die no more. “If, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.” (Rom. 5:1010For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. (Romans 5:10).) Not only has Christ died for us, but He lives for us. He is our security; He is our peace. It is poor consolation to look within one’s own heart for assurance; let us look into the word of God, which presents Christ to us as our peace, and tells us how “much more” even than “being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.”
