TRUE ABIDING PEACE
Jesse M. Hendley
I Peter 5:7

I have a friend who, when he was first converted,
worried a great deal about whether he might be lost
again; whether he might slip out of the Lord's' Hand.
But you know, it is wonderful, the PEACE the Lord
gives when we read His Word, where Jesus says in the
tenth chapter of the Gospel of John, to those who
believe on Him, My sheep hear my voice, and I know
them, and they follow me, and I give unto them eternal
life, and they shall NEVER PERISH, neither shall any
man pluck them out of My Hand. My Father which gave
them Me is greater than all, and no man is able to

the world giveth give I unto you; Let not your heart
be troubled. Neither let it be afraid." "My peace I
give unto you." That is a wonderful statement,
friends, because Jesus means that! It is found in John
14, verse 27. "PEACE I leave with you. MY PEACE I give
unto you. Not as the world giveth give I unto you. Let
not your heart be troubled. Neither let it be afraid."
That means, don't be troubled, and don't be afraid.
Fear is a characteristic of the human heart. But the
Lord gives peace.

I want to speak to you, then, on the ...
