TOPIC: Perpetual Peace With God (Rhapsody of Realities 27 February 2025)
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1).
Rhapsody Of Realities For Today:
The Amplified Classic renders our opening verse beautifully. It says, “THEREFORE SINCE we are justified (acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God) through faith, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).” Imagine a life of perpetual peace with God! That’s exactly what Jesus made possible for us.
Through salvation, we’re in oneness with God, in perfect harmony and in sync with Him. He reconciled us to Himself, giving us peace that no religion can offer. This peace is the result of our being justified—acquitted by faith. No enmity between you and God; no hostilities!
Ephesians 2:14-17 says, “For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us…so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.”
2 Corinthians 5:18-19 says, “And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” Observe that it was God working in Christ Jesus, reconciling the world back to Himself, not counting their sins against them. Instead of condemnation, He gave us reconciliation and oneness. Hallelujah!
Now we have access by one Spirit unto the Father (Ephesians 2:18). You’re no longer separated from God. Isn’t that wonderful? Now we live in constant fellowship and peace with Him. Colossians 1:20 says, “And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself….” Hallelujah!

Dear Father, I thank you for justifying me by faith and giving me peace with you through our Lord Jesus Christ. I live in constant fellowship and oneness with you, free from condemnation, censure, blame, or disapproval. I enjoy the fullness of your peace every day, walking in your love and enjoying fellowship with you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
