Peace with God
Those Set in Families!
Those Given Back a Hundred-Fold in This Life and the Life To Come!
Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. Luke 12: 51
The Angels declared peace on earth when Jesus was born.
So how do we make sense of this statement.
When the angels came to earth, they were Heavenly creatures declaring that now humans, sons of Adam can now be at peace with God.
For Jesus lived a perfect life and died as our perfect sacrifice offering to give us a new nature, God’s.
So Jesus gave us peace with God, peace inside ourselves, no longer at war with God in our Spirits and no longer at war with ourselves.
Jesus is here declaring what is going to happen in between people, people to people.
That now that we know, we have a choice, to choose to have peace with God or peace with the corrupted world system.
That is the division He is speaking of.
That when we choose the Kingdom of God, that we are now in opposition with the current world system of flesh, sin.
That when we choose the Kingdom of God through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice, we become citizens of another world, members of God’s household, His special possession.
He is letting us know, that now we are going to be different that we will now have different goals, different hopes, different desires.
May we know that we know that we know, we all have a choice to make in this season of life.
May we know that we know that we know, when we choose Jesus Christ, we become new, new creations, new eternal beings, with a new eternal address.
May we know that we know that we know, this gives us peace with God internally and eternally.
May we know that we know that we know, though this may divide us from unsaved non-believers, even biological family members—in purpose, in vision, in desires and eternally-the new heart given to us will actually give us a greater heart of love for them, to lead them to what we have become and where we are going.
May we know that we know that we know, God will move through us to call them too, for He died to save everyone and anyone, and like He did for Noah, Lydia, Cornelius, and the jailer, He will spur on those we love to join us in our new Kingdom.
