Isaiah 48:17-18
Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go. 18 Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go. 18 Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
God leads the way we should go for our advantage and His glory. When we follow in obedience from the heart and not just to avoid punishment, He gives peace and righteousness. Ultimately we only are righteous in Christ, but the effect of walking with Him in step with His Spirit living inside us (putting deeds of flesh to death as we work out our salvation) is practical and effectual righteousness. This is peace with God in Christ.
