As Christians we must know the peace Jesus gives and distinguish it from
what the world gives. Jesus' peace is authentic-we have access to His
peace because He lives in us. Be careful what you hear; see to it that
no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophies...by
adding or taking away from the Word with human reasoning. We can't
create Jesus' peace, self-will it, or meditate our way to it; we receive
it from Jesus. God says His peace surpasses our human understanding-it
guards our minds and hearts. Our minds can't comprehend how God's ways
work...His ways are higher than ours. There's a way that seems right to a
man, but it's end is the way to death. Every living person has a faith
deposit from God placed in them when they were knitted together in their
mother's womb by Christ's hands. Every individual is designed to seek
outside of themselves ultimately choosing Jesus as their Savior and
following Christ and walking out the plan He purposed for them long ago.
God loves each person He created, but will not force His love-each
individual is given the choice to believe in His love or not to believe.
Many want to believe some of God's truth, then mix His truth with other
beliefs...Jesus is the only way, truth and life. No person is to
add to His truth or take away from from His truth; if they do...they're
flirting with disaster and will create confusion-forfeiting God's
protection of peace in their minds and hearts. Don't drown in the
grandeur of self deception and forfeit the peace Jesus Christ
offers...turn and run to Him! (Phil 4:7, Rom 12:3, Col 2:8, John 14:6,
Isa 55:9) 1/26/13CIFL-LMM
