"Liberty is Real Peace"

"And of His fullness have we received, and grace for grace. For the Law was given by Moses, but Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ." (John 1:16 & 17) Do you see now what brings us 'Real Peace'? It is freedom from the Law! Why is this so? Because, we truly have no worry of being disobedient to God! This is kind of hard to swallow; but, for those of us that 'Believe in His Name', this is Grace and Truth! I truly believe that God made the Garden the way He did for a reason; in other words, that Tree of Knowledge was put there for a really Big Reason; and it had to do with the destruction of evil. If you really think about it, God is All Knowing; and because He is what He is, then it is easy to see that He knew what He knew; and what He knew, was that the man He created with a free will, was in need of 'Real Peace'. The 'Fall' of man was a setup from the start up, because God knew what man would do, and He knew what He would do for man. So, if God did have this plan, what does that say for 'free will'; really, if you think about it, and really believe that He is God, then you must realize that He is ultimately in control. Remember the illustration of Jesus calming the ocean; because, man may be tossed around by the waters and the wind, but God controls the oceans and the weather; and as Jesus said, "Let us go to the other side"; and He meant what He said. There is 'the other side' of this journey, and when we get there, we will come to fully understand; in the meantime, we must rest in the boat, and try to enjoy the ride! But remember this: You must stay in the boat!!! "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." (Galatians 5:1)
