We Are at Peace with God because of Jesus

Now that we have God’s approval by faith, we have peace with God because of what our Lord Yeshua Christ has done. Through Christ we can approach God[a] and stand in his favor.[b] So we brag because of our confidence that we will receive glory from God. But that’s not all. We also brag when we are suffering. We know that suffering creates endurance, endurance creates character, and character creates confidence. We’re not ashamed to have this confidence, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
