Are We in Peace with Ourselves?

We should be if we are doing things correctly. There are many people who are not doing things right and either are very unhappy or angry all the time. God made us at His image to live an abundance of life, with an eternal character. That means we are eternal for good or for bad, reason why we should be obedient to God’s Commandments, because God’s Kingdom is eternal and sinless. We cannot live forever fighting with each other, hating each other, envying, and doing everything God teaches NOT to do which are the deeds of the flesh; Paul said: The deeds of the flesh are . . . immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God. (Galatians 5.19-21) We have ALL inherited the sin: For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. (Romans 3.23) This is why after the first woman disobeyed God and ate from the tree of good and bad knowledge and gave her husband, God kicked them out of the garden and angels kept guard of the tree of LIFE so they could not corrupt their eternity and ours too. Can you imagine not to ever have peace and live an eternity of constant death threatening and actually experiencing it? God created us to be happy and love one another. Thank God the tempter did not know where the Tree of Life was, otherwise we would have lost the opportunity to live in peace forever more, but some will. For many are called, but few are chosen. (Mathew 12. 14) The devil is bad and wants to destroy God’s creation, but God who is eternally merciful to His children came to rescue us and died in our place so we could be saved from evil and inherit his riches in life eternal. Before going back to heaven He gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit and the peace that surpasses all understanding, which makes us happy, gratefully singing, all the time. When we decide to live by the Spirit not even death can finish us. When we live only for our lusty desires we’ll inherit evil. We must connect with God’s Spirit to be forgiven. The apostle Paul said: But the fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULLNESS. GENTLENESS, SELFCONTROL; against such things, there’s no law. (Galatians 5. 22-23) This month we celebrate Jesus Christ’s victory over death. Let’s be in peace with ourselves and celebrate singing: ALLELUJAH, Christ is Risen!!!
