immediately. John xiv: 1, *• Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me/' Our Lord here prescribes for a troubled heart. His direction is, '' Believe in me.*' We are, hence, certainly warranted in believing that faith in Christ will remove trouble from the heart and bring peace. Romans v: 1. '• Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.'' Peace follows immediately on being justi- fied by faith. The verses that follow imply the attainment of assurance at the very beginning of the Christian course. Romans xv: 13, ''Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing." Here you will observe it is peace in believing. I Peter i: 8, 9, "Whom having not seen ye love; in whom, though noAV ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory; re- ceiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls." Here joy and rejoicing, which certainly imply a peaceful assurance, are represented as grow- ing immediately out of faith. In Acts xvi: 34, it is said that the jailer "rejoiced, believing in God with all his house." Isaiah xxvii: 3, " Thou wilt keep Assiifdiicc of S((h'(ilioft. 159 him in perfect peace, whose mind is. stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee/' Here peace fs con- nected intimately with trust.
