PEACE 4

NOT PEACE WITH THE WORLD

Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.


How many times have you heard the phrase, "You have to go along to get along"? That might seem true from the world's point of view but it certainly has not been the case of men who were willing to go against what was popular with the world because they knew it was not popular with God.

God wants us to be faithful to Him and His Word. No matter how popular something might be with the world we must make a choice to be on the Lord's side. We have read account after account through the Bible where one man and God made up the majority and won the victory.

Sometimes we are so caught up in trying to get along with the world that we forget that the world is headed for destruction. We must realize that God will give us ultimate victory and the ultimate peace. It is a wonderful peace that we have in knowing we are where God wants us to be and we are doing what God wants us to do.
