There are two kinds of people on earth: those whose existence is at peace with God, and those who live as His enemy.
To be at peace with God is to live a life that's justified by faith, not by works wherein many strive to attain through their religion or good deeds. However, also note that you can't be at peace with God when you claim to be righteous without having faith in Christ Jesus.
It is by your faith in Jesus that you live a life that please God, not by your adherence to moral laws or self-righteousness. Many go to church but have no faith in Jesus. Meanwhile, the faith to receive miracles from God differs from the faith that believes in His only begotten son.
Are you at peace with Him, or you're His enemy? Does your existence gladdens His heart, or it grieves Him that He made you?
In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, the rich man thought he had it all because he lived the kind of life he wanted, but he wasn't at peace with God. Meanwhile, Lazarus was poor, but He was at peace with His maker.
It is not your financial situation that determines if you'd be at peace with God or not, it is by how you live your life - for God, or for self.
Quit living your life the way you want without living the way God wanted you to live. Jesus has modeled the kind of life God wants us to live. Any deviation from His lifestyle is enmity against God.
Be at peace with Him today before it becomes too late to reconcile with Him. Remember, it is only by your faith in Jesus Christ that you can be at peace with God.
