Easter Questions: Can I find Peace With God?

What this episode covers

This must be deleted from our thought process: Our problem is not a scale problem, our problem is a sin problem. Question If you were to die today and find yourself in front of God, and God said, “Why should I let you into heaven”? How would you respond to that? Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of God’s standard.” Romans 6:23“The wages of sin is death.” Can we have peace with Jesus? Yes, we can. Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we nowstand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. Romans 5:1-5 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. For since ourfriendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.” Romans 5:6-11 Romans 5:1 We have been justified though our faith (and can have peace, its possible) It’s not the scales, it’s the cross that answers this question: So, when someone is asked, Why should I be allowed into heaven? The answer is, “because I have put my faith in Jesus and what he’s donefor me.” 6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for arighteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! Romans 5:6-9 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died tosin; how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized intohis death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. Romans 6:1-4 Questions about baptism Who should be baptized? Do I have to be baptized? When should I be baptized ? If you died tonight and God asked you, “Why should I let you into heaven?” How would you respond? You can be at peace today!
