When you think about the benefits of being a christian what comes to mind? Forgiveness of sin, going to heaven, salvation from hell. Well those are the normal benefits that most of us think about. What I would like to challenge you and myself to do is seek the scriptures and ask God to show us the true riches and benefits we have in Christ. This time of year I would like focus on the peace of God and the fact that we have peace with God. We are no longer enemies of God because of what He did on the cross to redeem us and reinstate relationship with us. Because I don't have to try to earn my way to heaven I have peace. I can rest in Him and the work He has done. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
