War & Peace
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1 New International Version (NIV)
When I examine my time with God I find a few things that one might not consider to be “Christian”. One of those things is that we argue. I tussle with God mostly about His will and how it rarely matches my own. I have not yet convinced God that my ideas are better than His. And as much as God and I fight, I know at the end of the day we are at peace with each other. I know that peace with the Father is the direct result of having a relationship with His Son.
Before I was a believer, I may have thought I was at peace with God. I did good things and even went to church. But the truth is that without knowing God’s son, I was at war with God. Without a healthy and thriving relationship with Jesus Christ, you are not a friend, but a foe; not an ally, but an enemy.
You know, I loose every fight I have with God and I am a believer. What chance do you think I would have as an enemy?
