Peace In Christ 

Philippians 4:7 says, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” It is not about only guarding your heart and emotions, but your body as well. When the body has afflictions, the heart may suffer attacks and the mind may suffer anxiety. As we get older, the heart becomes weaker to bear the burdens and difficulties of life.  

The peace of God is something that not only surpasses all understanding but exceeds our natural ways. This peace exceeds the natural and causes us to remain calm regardless of our circumstances. It guards the heart. We do not lose our minds and our hearts beat as it should. This peace keeps the mind and body healthy. The peace of God not only produces an effect on my soul but also causes something in my body. I am healthy in the midst of difficult circumstances. 

The peace of God orients you and keeps you focused on Christ. It allows you to experience the reality of Christ because you could not bear the circumstances and live the same way if you did not have Christ in your life and lived submitted to the Spirit. The peace of God produces the effect of being centered on Christ and understanding that this is possible only through His work in us. 

The result is peace in the midst of adversity. Problems may continue, and there may not be an exact day or time for how long your situation will be, but our life does not depend on knowing when the difficulties we are going through will end. Our life depends on God. Having the peace of God allows me to stay calm and safe in the midst of trouble. 

Paul does not teach that, with Christ, problems will no longer be part of our life. He does not teach a gospel that is a good-luck charm, where everything will be perfect. It is not like that! Paul says that those who are with Christ can go through the same circumstances as any other person, but with the great difference that Christ, who is the peace of God, produces the effect of life in the Spirit. It is a different reality that surpasses all understanding.
