faith
it says - Romans 5
therefore, having been justified by faith, we have a peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Ad not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us
what's it mean
peace comes from our faith in God. Anger - which is diminished by understanding faith which has allowed us to have grace which should be given to others.
Tribulations --> struggles --> produces perserverence --> but must be accompanied by faith to create character and hope
me
The peace that we have or rather should have in our lives can only come from God. specifically, our faith in God draws this peace to our hearts. lets say (hypothetically of course) by nature i'm typically an angry person, i blow up when someone cuts me off on the highway, or the line at the store is too long or they make my drink wrong... that anger, frustration is fueled by something that ISN'T holy in any way, shape or form. our faith in God is what diminishes that anger and by understanding and living our faith in God out in our lives allows us to have a glimpse into what grace is, and the grace we should pass onto others. I thought of this as being a pushover at first, but then i realized that being a christian, living your life for God is in no way similar to being a pushover.
the tribulations, the struggles that we endure - as long as we have faith in God, it produces perseverance. paul never stopped praying, josh never stopped walking etc etc... no matter how hard it was.
ps: i had an awesome day =)
