The Gospel of God is a message of peace. "How beautiful upon the mountains" are the feet of them that bring it (Rom. 10:15)! How sweet to the weary heart that has sought and sighed and longed to know it, is the first experience of "peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ." Rom. 5:1.
There is no reason why this should not be the happy experience of the reader now. Peace has been made by the blood of the cross (Col. 1:20). The Son of God, the great Peacemaker, died, the Just for us the unjust, to bring us to God (1 Peter 3:18). "The chastisement of our peace was upon Him." Isa. 53:5.
He became our surety. In His obedience unto death, His atoning sacrifice offered to God, He satisfied every claim that offended Justice had against the sinner, and gave back to God all that man's sin had robbed Him of.
Blessed be God, peace has been made. It is now made known in the gospel. The great question for you, reader, to ask yourself is, Have I got this peace?
Am I at peace with God? There need be no doubt about the matter. Peace has been made at the cross.
Peace is proclaimed in the gospel. And peace is possessed and enjoyed by all who believe and receive that gospel as God's good news to their individual souls.
