Once you place your trust in Jesus Christ, once you say to Him, I do believe that you're the Son of God. I am confessing my sins. I know that I'm a rebel against you. I have violated your law, violated your principles, simply not being. I'm willing to ask you to forgive me of my sin, not based on my conduct, not based on my character, but based on the fact that his death was a sacrificial, all-sufficient substitutionary, a toning death that removed the barrier and made it possible for me to come into your presence. In the beautiful Christmas passage from Isaiah chapter 9, verse 6 describes the Messiah as the Prince of Peace. And today on In Touch, the teaching ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley, we'll hear more about Christ's role as Peace Giver and learn how we can have a sense of calm assurance even when things are falling apart. Here's part 2 of The Source of Peace. Romans chapter 5.
The Apostle Paul has been talking about man's hopeless, helpless, sinful, lonely condition for four chapters. And then when he comes to this fifth chapter, he begins it with a word, therefore, which means, based on everything that he had written before, he says, therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Now, one of the reasons that many people, most people, in fact, everyone who really does not have peace with God, their primary reason is they don't understand where you find it, how to get it, don't even understand that they can have it. So let's talk about what this piece is for a moment. Peace with God means that you and the Lord are in harmony with each other. You have a sense of oneness with him. There is a unity with him. There is no war, no consternation, no fighting.
You see, the truth is, until you and I recognize that there is a barrier between us and God, a barrier until it is removed by a change in the heart and life of a human being, until there is a change that takes place, you will never have peace with God. There is no possibility, apart from a work of God in your heart, that you'll ever be able to have peace with God. And until you have peace with God, you're not going to ever be able to experience peace with yourself, all with others, because peace with God is the foundation. Romans chapter 5, verse 10. Ebglus, a 250-mg per 2-mg leader injection, is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older, who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kg with moderate to severe axima.

It's fall in Jeep country and during the driving to fall sales event, get a great deal on 4x4s that refuse to be contained, like Jeep Wrangler, confidence built into every drive with the most awarded SUV ever, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and freedom that can't be denied, with the open air freedom in Jeep Gladiator. After 85 years, it's no surprise that Jeep became America's SUV brand, get a great deal during the Jeep Driving to Fall Sales event. Jeep is one more awards over its lifetime than any other SUV brand, even the Jeep Grill Registered Trademarks of FCAUS LLC.
It's fall in America. Make it count. At the Ram Drive into Fall Sales event, make it powerful with our strongest Ram 1500 ever. Make it move with the Ram Heavy Duty with an available Cummins Diesel. And make it go to distance with a 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty. For if while we were in him is, we were reconciled to God through the death of his son, much more having been reconciled we should be saved by his light. The Bible says that you and I until we trust the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, we're the enemies of God. I didn't say he was our enemy. We're his enemies while we're working against his will, against his plan, rebelling against his personhood, and what are we doing? Sending against him. And so we listen, we found the category of enemies of the will and the purpose and the plan and the objectives of God.
Now, there are a lot of people who say, well, now what am I? I believe in God. I do believe in God. And I do believe that God is the source of my peace. I do believe that's true. And so therefore I've tried to make things as peaceful as I can. Well, have you gone about that? Well, people say, well, I've tried to be as good as I can possibly be. I've tried to do everything I know to do this right. I'm not a thief, I'm not an adulterer, don't steal, don't lie, don't cheat, try to be as good as I can. But somehow I still don't have that peace, right? Because remember what we said in the beginning, there's a barrier there. The barrier is our sinful condition. Listen, not just conduct. Remember, when Adam fell in the garden, and Eve fell in the garden, it became a sinful nature. It is our nature. It is our condition that causes us to be what we are. We come into this world with a sinful condition, a sinful nature, our actions, listen, or the outflow of the condition of the heart. And therefore, listen, you can't do it any better. You may change a few things, but you have to listen.
Your nature has to be changed. Your condition has to be changed. And only God can do that. The barrier that exists between God and man is the barrier of sin, and only God can deal with it. If you want peace with God, I'm about to tell you how to get it. Not how I think you can, how I know you can. Because I've never met anybody who had real peace, who didn't get their peace from Almighty God through His Son, Jesus Christ. I've met a lot of people who put on a big front, but the longer I knew them, the more I realized they don't have any peace. This account of it, this is a cover of it, this is a camouflage. Real genuine peace is a gift from God. It isn't something you work up. It isn't something you manipulate. Peace is a gift from God. It is not the result of your effort. It's the result of the effect of Christ living his life and in through your life.
That is what provides peace in a person's life. So we have to ask the question, what did Paul mean in this passage when he talked about justification when he said, Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through the Lord Jesus Christ. Well, let's look at this word justification for a moment. The word justification in the Scripture means simply this. That is to be declared no longer guilty, to be declared forgiven, to be made righteous. It's fall in Jeep country and during the drive into fall sales event, get a great deal on four by fours that refuse to be contained. Like Jeep Wrangler, confidence built into every drive with the most awarded SUV ever, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and freedom that can't be denied, with the open air freedom and Jeep gladiator. After 85 years, it's no surprise that Jeep became America's SUV brand, yet a great deal during the Jeep drive into fall sales event. Jeep is one more awards over its lifetime than any other SUV brand, Jeep and the Jeep Grille Registered Trademarks of FCAUS LLC.

Jeep is one more awards over its lifetime than any other SUV brand, even the Jeep Grille Registered Trademarks of FCAUS LLC. You say, well, how can I be declared forgiven? How can I be declared not guilty when I am guilty? I'm going to explain that in a moment. I want you to see that he says, therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God. One thing we know that peace with God comes to a relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ. Remember the barrier is the barrier of sin, and man's good conduct will never eliminate that barrier.
Man's conduct is not the issue. Man's condition is the issue. Man's sinful condition is the issue. And so what do we do about our sinful nature? The sin barrier that separates Holy God from sinful man had to be dealt with. The sinful man can't deal with it. The sinful man didn't even want to deal with it. But God wanted to deal with it because he loves you and me. And so what did he do? He placed, watched this, he placed all of your guilt, all of your sin, all of your disobedience, all of your rebellion, all of your indifference, all of your doubt, all of your unbelief, all of your wickedness, all of your ill conduct, everything that you've ever done wrong, he placed upon Him with the cross. And when Jesus Christ died of the cross, he died of substitutionary death. He took your place in my place. He died of sacrificial death. He laid down his life voluntarily. He died an adequate death. The death of the Son of God was the only death that could atone for.
Pay the death in full of your sin in my sin. The sin that separated us from God that kept us from having peace with God. And therefore when Jesus Christ went to the cross, the Bible says that he cried out to the Father, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me? And in those moments of being forsaken, Jesus tasted hell for every single one of us because to Him to be separated from the Father which He'd never been, was to experience, listen, what mankind would experience for all eternity being separated from the God who created you, being separated from the purpose and plan and will of God for all eternity. No hope, absolutely totally helpless and hopeless. Jesus paid that price. He was the sacrifice and that's why he says in this passage, therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ through whom we also have obtained an introduction by faith into this grace wherein we stand.
Now once you place your trust in Jesus Christ, once you say to Him, I do believe that you're the Son of God. I do believe that you're the Savior. I am confessing my sins. I know that I'm a rebel against you. I have violated your law, violated your principles, unfit for heaven, unfit to be accepted, unlovable in my nature, sinful in my being. I'm willing to ask you to forgive me of my sin, not based on my conduct, not based on my character, but based on the fact that His death was a set...

You see, peace with God means we lay down the tools of warfare, rebellion, indifference, unbelief, willful, sinful, walking in life and darkness, blinded by Satan, doing the will of the devil, rather the will of God that's all over.
Now you begin a whole new life. I want you to turn if you will to Colossians chapter 1. I love what he says in this 19th verse when he talks about the Father's attitude, God the Father's attitude, listen to what he says. In verse 19, for it was the Father's good pleasure. Listen to that, the Father's good pleasure, the Father is excited, the Father is pleased with this. What is he pleased with? He's pleased that all the fullness to dwell in his son Jesus. You know what he's pleased with? The Father is pleased with the fact that in his son Jesus Christ you find everything that is to find about the Father. That's the first thing that pleased him. The second thing that pleased him was this. And through him that is through Jesus to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross. Through him I say with the things on earth, all things in heaven and although you were formally alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, yet he has now reconciled you in his fleshly body.
Through death in order to present you wholly before him, wholly and blameless and beyond reproach. Now listen to that. Through him to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace, listen, having made peace between you and me through the blood of the cross. You see, you cannot have peace with God apart from Jesus Christ in the shedding of his blood of Calvary. You cannot. What did we read a few moments ago in Romans? He says, therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through the Lord Jesus Christ, listen, through the Lord Jesus Christ and not only that. He says, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace wherein we stand. What's the grace of God? The grace of God is His goodness and love and mercy and kindness taught us that was produced and provided for by the cross. And then he says here in Colossians, it was his good pleasure to let his son come. It was his good pleasure that for him to down the cross and reconciles unto himself.
He says, now beforehand, this is where we were, formally alienated, separated, hostile in mind, engaged and evil deeds, every single one of us.

We'll have to admit that we've been angry or alienated in a hostile toward God at some point in our life and engaged in evil deeds and anybody who denies that is lying. We've all sinned against God. We've all disobeyed God. We've all rebelled against God. We've all wanted our way to have our way. But He says what? Through justification? Listen. By putting the sin debt on Him and setting us free, He's now reconciled us unto Himself.
And now reconciled you. Listen. In His flesh, the body that is at the cross, through death in order to do what? To present you in Me before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach. Listen to what He says. He says that He will present us before Him holy. Righteous, blameless, beyond reproach. How do we start off in Him is aliens, disobeyed rebellion in difference, unbelief. And what happens when we are reconciled to Him justified by faith through His Son, Jesus Christ, death at Calvary? Now what do we look like? Righteous, holy, blameless before Him in glory. That's the work of the cross. That's the work of a peace-making God who desires that you and I have peace that passes all human understanding. The war is over. We give up and we say, Lord, I want to have peace with you. The most beautiful example of this is to be found in the story of the prodigal son. And you recall, He said to His Father, I want what belongs to Me? Against His Father's best wishes and wisdom I want belongs to Me and I want it now.
He took it. He wasted on riotous living the Bible says with prostitution among His friends and He wasted His inheritance. Finally, when He came to the end of Himself, rebelling against His Father, rebelling against His family, going to do it on His own, when He ended up slapping hogs in a whole pin. It was nothing less hopeless and helpless. Finally, He surrendered and He started home. Did His Father say when He saw Him, there comes that rebel? No? And if you'll notice that story, who's doing the running? The son's not running home. It's God, the Father. And Jesus told that story to help us understand how loving and forgiving and desirous and pleasurable it is to God to forgive us of our sins. And they threw a big part of that night. He said, my son was lost and he's found he's back home.
There was peace between the Father and the Son. Is there peace between you and your Heavenly Father? Are you a rebel? Are you insisting on...

Have you laid your Bible aside that somebody gave you a long time ago, or maybe you've never even read it? Have you decided that you're going to believe your professors who told you that it was full of errors?
Because what that did, it made it absolutely unimportant to you. And therefore, that helped your conscience so that you can live in sin and do your own thing in life. Let me ask you a question. Do you have peace with God? No. I know the answer to that question. Because there's only one way to have peace with God. That's through his son, Jesus Christ. Only when you have been declared righteous and forgiven and holy before God. Only when he has reached out and reconciled you unto himself and brought you unto himself to make you righteous and holy and blameless before him. Only then would you have peace. You see, listen carefully. God will wear you out. He will. He'll throw a roadblock out the roadblock in your way to help you to stop, to take knowledge of yourself and what's going on and turn your heart toward him. You know what? If you keep jumping over the roadblocks, one of them may be that you've turned on this message and you're listening today maybe for the first time or the hundredth time.
This is a roadblock to say to you, stop before you wreck your whole life. Stop now and surrender your life to God. Give God the privilege of blessing you and making you the person he wants you to be. It's a roadblock. It's an avenue. It's a new perspective on what your life's all about. What would you do with it? Will you ignore what you're hearing? Will you be wise enough to know God? I don't know this God on ways coming from don't anything about this, but God I somehow insident me. This man speaking the truth. Surely I am. It is the truth of the living God. This is not some denomination or some preach. This is the word of the living God. This is the book by which you're going to be judged. This book is only full of truth and this book says, therefore being justified by faith, declared righteous as a result of the grace and goodness and love and mercy of God in the work of Christ at Calvary and you're trusting Him.
Will you ever find peace? Only then will you be reconciled brought back into right relationship with Him. And the question is, what will you do about it? If you're ever going to experience peace with God, if you're ever going to have relationship with Him that's pleasing, listen and supportive.

You're listening to InTouch. If you're a Christian, you don't have to feel lonely. Here's a moment with Charles Stanley. We live in the information age, surrounded by technology that instantly connects us to the world. We have computers, cell phones, all kinds of things to help us stay in contact with other people, friends and family. No matter where they are, then what are so many people still feel isolated and alone? In the book of Genesis, we learned that Joseph had every reason to feel isolated and alone. Not only was he lonely because of his brothers, but then he ends up in prison in a whole nother culture, having done his best and probably wondering, where is God? God, where are you when I have tried my best? In fact, I had this dream that you gave me about my future. Now look at me. Everywhere you turn, what do you find? He has a reason to question his loneliness and to question God, but he doesn't. He keeps focusing, for example, upon the fact that God spoke to him very clearly in that dream.
So he had a choice to make, a choice to think about his circumstances, his situation, to think about his loneliness, how far away he was from his parents, and the fact that he may never see them again. All of that drove Joseph to the Heavenly Father, and he trusted him, no matter what kind of loneliness you are experiencing, remember this. You are not really alone. God is with you in whatever you are going through. What you want to make John is this. The Bible says in Romans 8, 28, that God causes all things that work together for good, to those who love him, to those who call according to his purpose. Now notice what happened in Joseph's life. He turned to God, that is his loneliness drove him to his Heavenly Father, and that's the... At QVC, shopping is more than just checking out. It's discovering something new every day.
