peace

He is not against you, he is for you.

When you suffer, God is not punishing you. He’s already punished Jesus in your place, and it would be unjust to punish both Jesus and you.



There is peace between you and God. Sometimes our suffering is the consequence of our sin; we reap what we sow. Sometimes God allows us to go through a hard season just like a parent who loves their child will give them a bit of correction to instruct and mature them.

But there is peace between you and God if you belong to Jesus Christ.

- Mark Driscoll
