Peace doesn't come easy, does it? This broken world seems to delight in shattering our dreams of a whole, complete life. Fear, anxiety, guilt, grief, disappointment—these are the wounds from a broken world.

Do you wish you could reclaim a sense of peace, some clarity? Some certainty? Some comfort? You're not alone.

How does one find this peace?

According to the apostle Peter, "...through the knowledge of God."

This peace starts with clarity in God's Word, from knowing what it says. We find that clarity by taking seriously every word of the Bible.

Clarity leads to certainty in God's promises. The Bible isn't just a book of rules; it's a record of God's gracious intervention in history for the sake of man.

That certainty in God's rock-solid promises gives us comfort and peace.

"Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord."

— 2 Peter 1:2

It's more than a wish; it's a reality.

God has dealt definitively with guilt, shame, and sin. He's also made plans to fix whatever is broken, bent or missing in our lives. And on this side of heaven, he wraps us with countless promises.
