Hello sisters!
I am back in the name of the Lord to edify you in the Word! And encourage you to keep pressing on as godly women in your duties!
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.Colossians 3:17
Jesus our Saviour is our everything! It surely is a high calling to bear His name. We have so much to be thankful for in Him.
I was thinking about sharing scriptures on peace and was thinking of the ultimate peace we have through Christ so I share this long scripture on this glorious truth!
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, 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.
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Ephesians 2:10-22
Finding peace with God for eternity is so important isn't it. He is good which leads us to repentance to Him.
So may we be diligent to remain in His peace.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.2 Peter 3:14
And seek to live peaceable with those around us and especially with the saints, as there always will be some conflict between truth and error but as much as possible we do our part to live at peace while obeying the Lord. We were told we would be hated and enemies of our own households even. We surely will not be just going along with everything that the world does. We obey God first! But we can do it in the most peaceable way.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.James 3:17
Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.1 Peter 3:11
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.1 Timothy 2:2
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.2 Timothy 2:22
Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.2 Thessalonians 3:16
Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.2 Corinthians 13:11
So many more I could share, it's a big subject and important part of our life in Christ! Good to ponder on it and live in it.
It is unbelievably precious to know the truth of the gospel in Christ. So many are lost and hopeless without Christ and we share the hope as we can but sadly most just simply don't want it. But God must be glorified above man. Our obedience to Him comes first and foremost. It's all in His hands, just as we, His children, are also.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
John 10:27-29
I had bus travel today and so are back to some different duties for however long. One day at a time though. It's good to just take what comes but also good to think ahead as that surely can be wisdom too.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.Proverbs 31:27
Well I will go now and Lord willing be back tomorrow. Keep pressing on sisters! The battle is before us. So may we keep running our race with patience! Looking unto Jesus our Saviour!
Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.Jude 1:2
