GOSPEL NUGGET #593

ISA 27:5 “... let him rely on My protection, Let him make peace with Me, Let him make peace with Me.”

In verse 4, God is pictured as a man with a torch in His hand and stomping and burning the devices of His enemies that they set against Him. Here, in verse 5, God is offering the alternative of peace to His enemies. Judgment in verse 4 but peace in verse 5. They can take their pick.

The words here in verse 5 can be applied to the salvation sinners can have in Christ Jesus.

The Lord Jesus, as the sinner's Savior, is God's protection for them from His wrath. Moreover, the Lord Jesus is also the sinner's peace with God.

Do you want to be protected and saved from God's wrath? Rely on God's protection. Rely on the Lord Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross for you.

Do you want to have peace with God? |Rely on the Lord Jesus Christ. Let the Lord Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross for you become your peace-offering to God.

Ro 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus

Ro 5:1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
