Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
According to the Apostle Paul, salvation brings with it peace with God.
You see, every lost person is the enemy of God, Rom. 8:7,8`.
But, when that lost person turns to Jesus Christ by faith, God declares an end to the hostilities and declares peace to his or her soul.
I’m ever so happy I can sing:
It is Well With My Soul
_______________________
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, — When sorrows like sea billows roll; — Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, — It is well, it is well with my soul.
CHORUS:
It is well (It is well) — with my soul (with my soul), — It is well, it is well with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, — Let this blest assurance control, — That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, — And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!— — My sin, not in part but the whole, — Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, — Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, — The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; — The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, — Even so, it is well with my soul.
Horatio G. Spafford 1873
