The God of peace

The God of peace

Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen. Romans 15:33


Rom 15:30-33 30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

31 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;

32 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.

33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.


God the Father (The God of peace):


Here they (saints in Rome) are asked to make the holy strive to God. If you strive with God for improper matters God nay have to provide you. But it will not give you the blessing nut curse.


We are not worshipping number of false gods in the way that other religions do. But we are serving the God who created Heavens and Earth.


Let us take Acts 17:22 , Apostle Paul speaks at the stage of Mars (a god abb- the god of war)


But our God is the God of peace. He never wants his people to suffer by war among themselves. He created everything for a good purpose. But Humanistic civilization used his creations to create weapons.


Yeah our God purposely allow for war. But instead he is the God of peace.

He provide peace.


Exo 14:14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.


That is why we call Him Jehovah shalom – The God who provide us peace.


Let us all travel towards the beginning of creation. God establishes heavens and earth. He creates the birds and animals. His word contains power. When Satan had a will to become like God he was fallen from the Heaven to kept peace on Heaven. And when Adam had sinned against God, He us usually

came to the Garden of Eden. But Adam hides himself and tried to put reason for his sin. We all know that. Here if Adam felt sorry for what he had committed God will definitely forgive his sin.

He may provide us salvation by uttering a word but instead He provides us salvation by His precious blood. It is because we (human society) should understand the punishment of sin. So He had decided to send His Son to be the ransom for many.


God the son (The God of peace):


And when the wise men heard that our Lord and savior Jesus Christ born on the city of David they praised God saying “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill towards all men”. (Luke 2:14)


He didn’t provide us salvation by His power, but by grace. He had become a man like us and lived a Godly life (a roll model). The God who knew no sin become a curse by hanging on the cross.

1 Co 15:3,4 Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures

This is the Gospel.


Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.


Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:


God the Spirit (The God of peace):


God wants to live with us as he had lived early (the days of creation). So he was giving the Holy Spirit for those who had accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior.


Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.


The way we express the fruit of Spirit is the way others can know you have received the Holy Spirit.


“All ministries, therefore, must be subjected to this test--if they do not glorify Christ, they are not of the Holy Spirit.” – C H Spurgeon


Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.


Psa 125:5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.


Joh 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.


“A true and faithful Christian does not make holy living an accidental thing. It is his great concern. As the business of the soldier is to fight. So the business of the Christian is to be like Christ.” – Jonathan Edwards


Yes, we have trials and temptations. Many will not accept the Gospel. But we had to preach the Gospel because we had received it by the abundant of His mercy.


“God sweetens outward pain with inward peace” – Thomas Watson


Col 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
