"Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ." I Corinthians 1:3. Grace is God's gift to the human family. This is because of God's desire that all know him "from the least to the greatest." Without the grace of God and Jesus Christ, we are hopeless. God's grace came in the person of Jesus Christ. However, God's grace must be received. Grace is a gift that is offered, and it brings peace to all who will receive it. The peace of God is an individual consolation of the soul to anyone who is so inclined to accept it. Sin has brought the need for peace. Sin causes division and confusion. God who loves send his grace to create a heart of peace. By grace, we can know forgiveness, and thus, possess peace. Peace by grace brings us into union with God. The barrier of sin is destroyed in Christ. God has reached across the great gulf to make peace. Peace assures us of God as our Father and Jesus as our Lord. Peace comforts us in the storm, and lifts our burdens. Peace lights our way as we walk with our God. Our peace is our confidence of bestowed grace. Peace is our constant reminder of grace bestowed.
