       We, as Christians, still retain our reverent fear of God, but in our relationships and in our dealings with God, we now have peace. As Jesus said, “No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you” (John 15:15, ESV). We can now see God is our friend, even though we still revere him. Remember what the writer of Hebrews has told us? He said in Hebrews 4:16, “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (ESV). Our peace with God, then, gives us confidence with God. You know you can have confidence with God, before God, right? I think a lot of Christians have failed to realize this very important and essential point.
