    I love bells.

    I have heard church bells over in UK while there visiting, but I’ve noticed over the years that we’ve heard them less and less. And seen the churches turned into restaurants and apartment buildings. Church bells pealing is a lovely sound, especially when they play a tune. When it’s just bells pealing sort of randomly, it is not quite as nice. Church bells sound like a call to worship, which I suppose they are?

    Longfellow had a good thought, that God will make everything right in the end. Yet in the meantime, God has granted peace, spiritual peace, for those who have believed on our Lord Jesus Christ: Apart from Christ we are enemies of God and alienated from Him. Yet because of His mercy, He has provided the basis for our reconciliation to Him. The Bible tells us that through believing in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ for one’s sins, we can be forgiven and reconciled to our Creator God. Peace on earth is temporal but peace with God is eternal. Peace on earth would be wonderful but peace with God is far, far better!

    Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1-2
