A BELIEVER\u2019S PEACE
\nWhere does a believer find real and genuine peace? On what foundation can we rest and say in truth, \u201cIt is well with my soul?\u201d I\u2019ll tell you; it lies in this, that we are justified by faith and not by works. Christ Jesus stood in my place before God. I was guilty with nothing to pay; doomed to hell, and Christ took my place. He died for me! How can I perish? How can I be punished for sins which have already been laid on Christ and for which He has already suffered? God demands of me that I keep His holy law perfectly. I cannot do it. But Christ has kept it for me. He kept it, magnified it, made it honorable in my flesh. What more can God demand of me? I am washed in the blood of Christ; I am risen and seated at His right hand in Christ. You may ask, \u201cHow is all this yours?\u201d I reply, \u201cBy the grace of God, through the merits of Christ, revealed by the Spirit of God THROUGH FAITH!\u201d God said, \u201cHe that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life.\u201d I do believe, I sincerely believe in Christ; therefore, I have eternal life.
