Hello,

T
oday, we’re talking about peace as fruit of the Spirit.
“But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!” NLT, Galatians 5:22-23.
Peace: The Fruit of the Spirit
“I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” NLT, John 16:33. Ever wanted the peace we read of in scripture? The truth is, this peace is only in Christ Jesus, making it a fruit of the Spirit. To be sure, peace is *the tranquil state of the soul assured of its salvation through Christ, fearing nothing from God and content with its earthly lot, of whatever sort that is. So a Christian’s walk is tranquil. It is content. It does not depend on the circumstances of the moment. Heavenly peace comes from knowing the soul is safe with God. Amen?You can see the Bible material for peace here. You can listen to the audio here.
