Isaiah 48:22—“There is no peace,” says the Lord, “for the wicked.”
There Will Never Be Any Peace In Your Life Until You Reconcile Your Life To The Prince Of Peace, Who Is Jesus Christ, The son of the Living God!
Where is peace found? Peace is not found in drugs or alcohol…peace is not found in meditation or your daily horoscope. Peace is the fruit of reconciliation with God!
You cannot be at war with God and have the peace of God. The Bible says, “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You,” Isaiah 26:3. There is no peace to the adulterer…there is no peace to the fornicator…there is no peace to the abortionist…there is no peace to the pornographer…there is no peace to the wife abuser or child abuser…there is no peace to the fearful and unbelieving…there is no peace to the gossip or talebearer…there is no peace to the cold, casual, carnal, compromising Christian.
In the heart of every human being is sense of inner wrongness and uneasiness. The word of God calls it guilt. It is your conscience. University professors teach us that conscience is an unnecessary primitive leftover. They’re wrong. Conscience is the watchdog of heaven and it says in the word of God that you cannot dupe it and you cannot drown it out. Conscience is the voice of God that says,” You are not living according to My standards.” You cannot stop your conscience and the pain thereof by explaining it away with new morality. You cannot silence your conscience by giving new names to old sins.
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” Romans 5:1. There can be no peace until you reconcile your life with God. The Bible says, “if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” 1 John 1:9. Then the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep guard your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ.
