The Attributes of Peace
By
Jan Rice
When we live in the peace of God, we experience: Forgiveness Grace, Mercy, and Love, give us insight to where we are now. In Ephesians 2:4-6 “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,”
Ephesians 1:20-23, “that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.”
As a follower of Christ, you are now in the seat of power, authority, and strength over your enemy.
· Power to be all God intends.
· Power that equips for service.
· Power that strengthens us in the inner man.
· Power that works within us.
· Power that seats us in the heavenlies.
Colossians 1:27 is a powerful verse: “God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
One basic need is to belong; God chose you {He will not let you go or turn His back on you}.} John 10:27-30, John 3:16, and Isaiah 49:16.
