An old dying saint was asked an interesting question by a friend.
"Have you made you peace with God?"
"No, I haven't," the man replied. To that his friend said, "What! Oh you must make peace with God."
"No, I haven't," the man replied. To that his friend said, "What! Oh you must make peace with God."
"I'm sorry, I can’t do that."
"But you must! Don't you know it’s dangerous to die without making peace with God?"
To this the dying man said, "How can I make peace with God? My Lord made peace with me 2,000 years ago when He died on the cross for my salvation. I accepted His blood to cover my sins. I have had peace ever since."
Colossians 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
We don't make peace with God because He made peace with us at the cross. When we accept that—believe in Jesus—we are given peace with God.
