No More War in You, No More Condemnation from God

There is no more wrath and anger from your Maker once you've been reconciled to him. He dealt with the internal problem so that your heart could no longer be troubled. Now that you have peace with him, the two of you will never be at war again. Even your present failures do not rekindle war in your heart nor judgment in his. That's the glory of Jesus' peace. Real peace does not leave you, not even when you sin. Instead, it continues growing, pulling you toward him like an irresistible magnet.

--William P. Smith, Loving Well (Even If You Haven't Been) (Greensboro, NC: New Growth, 2012), 220.
