There are three kinds of peace:
- Spiritually: peace with God
- Emotionally: peace within
- Relationally: peace with others
Romans 5:1-11
- Peace with God that takes care of the past.
- Access by faith to God takes care of the present.
- Hope of the Glory of God that takes care of the future.
When you are at peace with God, glory in your salvation!
Two transitions: wrath to grace and grace to glory
If you believed in Jesus enough to save you from your sin, how can you not believe him enough to take you all the way to glory?!?
When you’re at peace, you can glory in God through your sufferings.
The reason we can glory in our sufferings is because we have presence and perspective!
