Be at Peace

Do you need God's mercy? That's an easy answer for me, of course!

But many people would say they are basically good. They haven't stopped to consider the ways they have broken God's law, the ten commandments, and so they might not realize how separated they are from him.

The ten commandments don't just cover the big sin of murder. If we've ever told a lie, or looked at another person lustfully, or taken something that wasn't ours, or used God's name in vain, then we're guilty of breaking God's law. The Bible says that such behaviour has a wage: death.

Let's face it, we're all guilty, but that's not the end of the story! There is hope! God has made it possible for us to be at peace with him! He's paid the fine!

All that is required is for us to humbly accept this payment, so that we may go free! Mercy is available to those who ask God.

Imagine being at peace with God! Imagine a Father who provides for all your needs, who watches your path, who guides you through dark places! When we accept his mercy, we will call out to him and “exalt him over all the earth.”

Amen.
