The Basis Of Having Peace With God 

We are naturally at enmity with God. Our greatest need, therefore, is to have peace with Him. It is not God's work in us (what's going on in our hearts and minds; its quality, state, and condition) that peace with God is settled and established. No, rather, the sinner's peace with God is based upon what God has done for us in Christ at Calvary. 

Not within but without, there, yonder at Calvary! Never confuse what's going on within us, in all its upward and downward movements, in all its unfinished work, to what He has done there for us at Calvary. Your peace with God could never be had by looking within. It can only be secured by His work for us at the cross. And He has already done it.
