Watch

We long for peace that both surrounds and is within us. But our past and world’s problems feel like scales that can’t be balanced out. Easter reminds us that because of the cross we can experience peace in this world from the One who has overcome it.

It’s a question we’ve all asked at one point in our life, but many times it’s one that we return to again and again: What does God want from me? Romans reminds us that there is one essential thing God is looking for—trust.

In fearing rejection, we ask, “Does God accept me?” Our cultural default is to say, “God accepts everyone.” But that’s not true…God accepts those who believe Him. We are made acceptable to God through faith, not our obedience or good deeds.
