Our Search for Peace - part 1

Man has endowed himself with the bold ability to destroy the fundamental foundation of this world, and with the flip of a switch it may cease to exist. True peace can only be reached by turning humanity's attention to the spiritual realm and not to the exterior of man, where tranquility might be found. The message of peace is intended to change life as we know it in the human heart or spirit. God longs for people to turn toward Him, acknowledge His care and work in the form of redemption, and recognise that through this act of grace He has already brought peace to all men. David Frum asks how do we shake off the intoxication of our sleep and the soul numbness that has permitted a world system to dominate, lead, impose, and determine our lives?

There is a solution, a starting point for the path to peace, a path that will take us to genuine contentment and tranquilly. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus Christ said: I offer to you differently than the rest of the world. Do not allow your hearts to be worried or terrified. Stop allowing yourself to be anxious and uncomfortable, and resist being terrified, intimidated, cowardly, and anxious. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said: If you know God, then you have peace as your spiritual birthright, and all you need to do is believe it by faith because you cannot create it for yourself.
