Philippians 4:7 says that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

The first type of peace is peace with God. Romans 5:1 tells us, “Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Before we came to faith in Christ, we were enemies of God because of sin.

Hebrews 4:16 encourages us to come to God’s throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and grace in our time of need. No longer do we need a mediator besides Jesus. He is our High Priest who intercedes for us, and through Him, we have unlimited access to God the Father.In our struggles and needs, w...  Read More
