Give Place To Peace and The Word of God

I. THE PEACE OF CHRIST

Colossians 3:15 ESV

15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

Romans 5:1 ESV

1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 32:17 ESV

17 And the effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever.

John 14:27 ESV

27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Colossians and Philemon—The Supremacy of Christ The Fullness of His Peace, Word, and Name ( Colossians 3:15-17 )

This chapter’s text deals with the pleasurable commands which come to the child of God who has put off the old self and put on the new. Specifically, these commands touch on the fullness of Christ’s peace (v. 15), the fullness of his word (v. 16), and the fullness of his name (v. 17).

Colossians and Philemon—The Supremacy of Christ The Fullness of His Peace (v. 15)

It is not just the peace we experience when there is no conflict. It is a sense of wholeness and well-being, completeness and totality. But it is even more—it is the presence of Christ. His peace and his presence are marvelously associated in both the Old and New Testament Scriptures

Philippians 4:5–7 ESV

5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
