Resting in Peace with God

 These verses teach us, when you know Christ as Saviour:

1.   You have peace WITH God

2.   You have access to God and His grace

3.   You have access into Heaven    

I.    When you are declared forgiven you have (made) peace with God (v. 1)  

You will never have the peace OF God w/o first having peace WITH God      

II.   When you are declared forgiven you have access to more grace that is needed in life (v. 2)  

Eph 2 – Christ’s death made peace between Jews and Gentiles and between Christians & the Father   Key passage: Hebrews 4:12-16      

III. When you are declared forgiven you have access into God’s eternal home – Heaven (v. 2)
