ruler

and a God of peace?

The answer is…

Peace, Perfect Peace

2. The world is a world of strife

Christ said He did not come to bring peace on

earth

but a

sword

– Matt. 10:34

So we live in a contentious world, yet we seek peace from the God of peace

So how do we

reconcile

the two things together?Slide7

Evil

and

good

cannot be at peace

God cannot and will not

tolerate

sin

Matt. 13:41; I Cor. 6:9-11; Gal. 5:19-21

“Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?” – Js. 4:4

Why does the world hate God?Slide8

3. Evil and good cannot be at peace

“The world…hates Me, because I

testify

of it that its works are

evil

” – Jn. 7:7

I John 2:15-17

That’s why the message of Christ creates strife, because it is a message that speaks out against the evil of the worldSlide9

Peace, Perfect Peace

3. Evil and good cannot be at peace

“Can two walk

together

, unless they are

agreed

?” – Amos 3:3

There will always be strife as long as evil and good exist

together

in the same

place

So is there any peace that God can offer to us?Slide10

peace

with

God

God does not desire for us to be at peace with

evil

God desires us to be at peace with

Himself

This is why Christ was referred to as the Prince of PeaceSlide11

Peace, Perfect Peace

4. We can have peace with God

“The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ” (Acts 10:36)

“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God

through

our Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom. 5:1)Slide12
