Grace Brings Peace

The grace of God is the favor of God. God gives you favor, always unmerited, never deserved. That's why it's called grace. It comes to you as the gift of God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Grace is more than a word. It's an experience in your heart.

Grace always brings God's peace into your life. It is peace that passes all understanding. You know when you experience the peace of God's grace. It defies explanation to those who have never experienced it. Only the Spirit of God can make peace real to you. It's a fruit of God's Spirit working in your heart and mind.

During times of stress and difficulty, you can always ask God for more grace. He gives grace sufficient for all the trying circumstances in your life. As a believer in Jesus Christ, God's grace is there for you. He will always grant you more grace as needed. You will know when your prayer is answered. His grace always brings peace.

Peace is the sure fruit that God's grace is working in your heart. It is peace with God and peace from God. He is known as the God of all peace. His Son is known as the Prince of peace. He makes His presence known in your life through grace that brings peace. 

"May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ 
give you his grace and peace." 

1 Corinthians 1:3, NLT
