       We learned that those of us who have believed in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins, we learned that we have obtained peace with God, the legal standing of peace with him. This is so important for us, and so very encouraging. In fact, we would not be able to live the Christian life without this foundation of peace. Indeed, this underlying peace allows us to be able to perfectly relate to God, without anything getting in the way. We don’t have to worry about our sin or something else separating us in our relationships with God. What is central to having a new life? One has to believe in Christ Jesus, one has to have their faith in him if they want a new life. The world offers other things to try to gain a new life. We see this in New Age philosophies, we see it in other religions, but really the only way we can have a new life is by disregarding the old, rather than trying to renovate or update the old. The house has to be torn down, and a new one built in its place.
