Jesus reconciled the world unto Himself making peace with us
by the blood of His cross. (2 Corinthians 5:19, Colossians 1:20) He then
committed this message of peace to us in the Great Commission found in John.
(John 20:21-23).
"Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my
Father hath sent me, even so send I you." - John 20:21
"To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world
unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto
us the word of reconciliation." - 2 Corinthians 5:19
"Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God
did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to
God." - 2 Corinthians 5:20
This message of peace is the Gospel. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4,
Romans 10:15, Ephesians 6:15).
We find peace with God when we obey the Gospel. How do we
obey the Gospel?
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
“For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to
all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." -
Acts 2:38-39
