“ ‘Peace’---‘righteousness and peace’. It follows inevitably, does it not? How can people be at peace when they are worried about their souls? How can they have peace when they know they are damned? Or when they are afraid of death because they know that it is followed by judgment? How can men and women have peace when they are striving, only to find how unworthy they are? It is impossible. But the moment they believe this blessed truth of the kingdom of God and in Christ as God’s way of righteousness, then everything is changed immediately. ‘being justified by faith, we have peace with God.’ It is an end of all my futile struggles.” -Martyn Lloyd-Jones, The Kingdom of God p.81
