Message by Josh Mutter – February 23, 2025

“Peace with God paves the way to peace with ourselves and equips us to make peace with others.” Andy Stanley

BIG IDEA:  Peace with God makes ultimate happiness possible.

1. Sin interrupts our peace with God.

Romans 5:12 (NIV)  Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people.

 

2. Peace with God begins with faith in Jesus.

Colossians 1:13 (NIV)  For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves…

Romans 5:1-2a (NIV)  Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access…

 

3. Obedience leads to peace with God.

1 John 1:6 (NIV)  If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.

1 John 4:20 (NIV)  Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.

 

Peace with God begins with faith in Christ.

CLOSING THOUGHTS:

  • Have you made peace with God?
  • Are we at peace with God?
