Philippians 4:1-9
Joy (Philippians 4:4) and peace
(Philippians 4:7) are grounded in God's love for us, not our love for
Him. Perfect joy and perfect peace (1 Peter 1:8; Philippians 4:7) - but
this is not our experience. Here, we must note the difference between
God's love for us and our love for Him. His love for us is perfect. Our
love for Him is not perfect. If our love in the Lord, our joy in the
Lord and our peace in the Lord are to grow strong, we must feed on God's
love. His love is faithful. His love endures forever. This is where our
love, joy and peace come from.
