Tag: God of peace

Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. And may your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He who calls you is faithful; he will do it. (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24)

I was thinking about the words “God of peace,” today.

Paul said in 1 Thessalonians 4:3,

For this is God’s will: your sanctification…

Now here in chapter 5, Paul prays that God would fully work out that sanctification in our lives.

Sometimes that process includes discipline. And that discipline can be painful at times. But we need not think God is constantly staring at us with an angry face.

He is the God of peace. We are at peace with him.

So that’s the truth I’m soaking myself in today, even as I’m thinking about all the areas God’s working on in my life.

“God is not angry at me. I’m at peace with him.”
