Peace - Part One

The Father manifested Himself in flesh to bring peace between us and Himself.

Isaiah 9:6 KJV - For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Our sin separates us from God. Because He loves us so much, He humbled Himself and took on the form of man, allowing Himself to be crucified in order to make this peace between us.

Philippians 2:7-8 KJV - But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

God made peace, reconciling us back to Himself, by paying the price of death for our sins.

2 Corinthians 5:19 KJV - 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.

What is this word of reconciliation? The Gospel.

Jesus died for our sins, He was buried, and on the third day He rose again.

Acts 2:38 KJV - 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.

Acts 2:39 KJV - 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.
