Peacemaker: accepting peace by ric gustafson
A goal that we need as christians is to have confidence in who we are in Christ. Because we are a child of God, we can pray boldly in faith and know that God hears our prayers. We develop godly character and can be used by God to lead others to Christ. In order to be at peace with ourselves, we need to enjoy our life.
Matthew 5:48 says to be perfect therefore as your heavenly Father is perfect. The apostle Paul stressed that we need to press toward the goal. That goal is to leave mistakes behind and strive toward the goal of being perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect.
When we are born again, we receive a new identity and make us his children. In order to have peace with ourselves, God makes us perfect and righteous in Christ. This peace is not based on our own works and behavior. In order to make spiritual progress, we need to keep our eyes on Jesus.
