TITLE:  The Real Thing

Scripture:  Galatians 5: 22; Romans 12:18

 

I.   ETERNAL STILL WATERS                                   

“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Rom.5:1

You will never find still waters until you find (internal peace) with God.

“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace…” Eph.2:13-14

 

II.   INTERNAL STILL WATERS           

“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have tribulation. But take heart, I have overcome the world.” Jn.16:33

Turn to Phil.4:6-7 (p.982)

 

III.  EXTERNAL STILL WATERS

Look up these verses: Mt.5:9; Rom.12:18; 14:19; Heb.12:14

How can we pursue peace with others?

1.     Remember we are (fellow members) of the same body.

2.     Realize the cause of discord lies wholly or partly with (us).

3.     Take the initiative to (pursue peace) with another person.
