Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: — Romans 5:1

Peace always comes at a high price. Jesus’ huge death on the cross bought our peace. God made sure that the price was paid for our disobedience, but he didn’t make us pay it because we couldn’t have done it. Instead, God gave Jesus to pay for it.

Prayer

Holy and loving Father, thank you for bringing me back to you and making peace, even though it cost you a lot. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for putting yourself through the terrible pain and cruelty of the Cross. Thank you that even though I’ve done wrong, I’m not seen as your enemy but as a lost sheep that needs to be found. Thank you for taking me in and making me your child. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
