Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we also have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice on the hope of the glory of God. Both globally and individually, people seek for peace. Nations desire peace, but are continually jockeying and positioning themselves, often through war, for some advantage. While the Middle East continually has 'peace talks' some commentators suggest that total peace is not possible in the region, as long as the world is made up the way it is now. At the individual level people struggle for peace and contentment.
People are fearful for the future.
They strive to attain riches in the hopes that that will bring peace. And yet, the continual 'silent' phone calls at regular predictable intervals indicate a soul that is still lost in darkness. But without God, she is still lost in that darkness. There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked. It was meant to be a 'relationship' of fellowship.
