Rest in God

Today I want to share a few thoughts about how to dwell in God’s presence and finished work of Christ

Colossians 1:21-23

Made Holy through Christ

Even though you were once distant from him, living in the shadows of your evil thoughts and actions, he reconnected you back to himself.

He released his supernatural peace to you through the sacrifice of his own body as the sin-payment on your behalf so that you would dwell in his presence.

And now there is nothing between you and Father God, for he sees you as holy, flawless, and restored, if indeed you continue to advance in faith, assured of a firm foundation to grow upon. Never be shaken from the hope of the gospel you have believed in. And this is the glorious news I preach all over the world.

• First you have to understand what it means to rest in God.

• What is the rest of God?

• The rest of God is to know him first.

• Rest is a person. It’s JESUS.

• To rest in him means too accept his sacrifice on the cross, his forgiveness, his love, his kindness, his mercy, his grace.

• To rest in God means to no more crave for his love and attention because we already have it.

• To rest in God also means that we understand we have found peace with God and been reconciled to him.

• To understand the rest of God it also means to accept  that we have been approved, acknowledged and accepted and are loved eternally.

• We also find a new way of relaxing due to the acceptation of he’s rest.
