Things Pertaining to Peace

It is this peace arising from our justification by the finished work of Christ that was pictured in the typical peace offerings of the ceremonial law. The peace offerings are set before us in direct connection with the burnt offerings and the meat offerings.

“The connection is simply this: a justified soul, devoted to the Lord in all things, spontaneously engages in acts of praise and exercises of fellowship, for the soul has been accepted and is at peace with God.” (Andrew Bonar).

The redeemed sinner gladly lifts his heart in praise to God because God has given him peace by the blood of Christ.
