OUTLINE:

Always remember that God's timing is always perfect.

Why Is Our Hope So Certain?
Do we carry a certain, definite, unwavering hope within us on a regular basis? The Lord wants us to continue to seek Him, so that our personal confidence in His salvation is ever on the increase within us.

Sanctification In A Nutshell
The ONLY perspective we CAN have that delivers us unto "His peace" is to fully apprehend "His salvation". (Is 26:3; Jn 16:33; 1Th 5:16-24; 2Th 3:16)

Is 26:3
“The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace,
Because he trusts in You.”

Jn 16:33
“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”

Sanctification In A Nutshell
The ONLY perspective we CAN have that delivers us unto "His peace" is to fully apprehend "His salvation". (Is 26:3; Jn 16:33; 1Th 5:16-24; 2Th 3:16)

About The Righteous One
"...this is my beloved Son, in    Whom I am well pleased." - Mt 3:17b

Why Is Our Hope So Certain?
Our Lord always did, and always does, what is right. He lived in perfect righteousness. His perfect obedience made Him the perfect Son, and the perfect sacrifice. (Heb 10:10-14, 12:11)

It's HIS SALVATION ALONE that leads us into hope and peace. Ac 4:12

Inseparable Pairs
The greatest example we've studied over the past few years is with salvation, itself… and that it is both repentance/faith that leads to salvation…that one without the other produces some kind of counterfeit Christianity.

Inseparable Pairs
Peace comes to us when every divinely ordained “pair” is in place…possession of only one half of such a pair leads us away from peace.

Ps 91:14-16
"Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name. "He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. "With a long life I will satisfy him And let him see My salvation."

Seeking Love
Is it something/someone in the world that our affections are attached to? Or are we happy with Christ as our love? Are we willing to let HIM satisfy our soul (fill our cup)?

Jesus is our anchor.

Analogy
Imagine your emotions are the weight of a cup with your name on it. Who/what do you allow to fill it?

Solid hope in Jesus leaves us with a single emotion…PEACE.

Ro 8:6
For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace.

If our "cup" is filled with a mixture of truth and lies…then we ought to EXPECT that our emotions will be mixed as well!

Peaceful Fruit
Our access to divine peace is not a function of fruit, strictly speaking, but rather a function of being in Christ, in God, in the sphere of peace, itself. Peace is a transcendent estate of being, of living, of abiding, experientially. When we received Christ in us, we were given access to His peace (Jn 14:27).

Earthly Righteousness
No matter how earnestly it is practiced, or even achieved, earthly righteousness has no part in God's peace. We believers receive His peace as a function of bearing “fruit of righteousness”.

"Why Jesus?" by Ravi Zacharias
"Our destiny is in a relationship to a person, not in a pilgrimage to a place. Our purpose is in communion with the living God, not in union with an impersonal idea or nameless Higher Power: Such categorization is intellectual cowardice.

"Why Jesus?" by Ravi Zacharias
“Access to an abstract power gives you no one to be grateful to in times of blessing and no one to question and receive comfort from in times of sorrow."

Heb 12:11 [Amplified]
For the time being no discipline brings joy, but seems sad and painful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness [right standing with God and a lifestyle and attitude that seeks conformity to God’s will and purpose].

“the peaceful fruit of righteousness”
Peace is a function of righteousness. Righteousness is a function of obedience of faith (both at salvation, when it is imputed, and experientially, when it is imparted). Peace reigns in the heart and soul of God.
