Not As The World Gives
A Word on Peace
Jesus said. "Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let
not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."---John 14:27 (John 14:1-31--in context)
He saves us, and fills us with His Holy Spirit, washing us clean.
"Not as the world giveth, give I unto you"
It's a gift not a loan. There is no interest and it doesn't have to be repaid.
So what do we do? We remind ourselves of his promises. We speak them aloud to hear them and drive the enemy away. We remind our selves of the great things God has done for us. We thank and praise Him for it. This brings peace as the Holy Spirit works in us.
