We need peace of mind

What does peace of mind mean?

Peace of mind means just what it sounds like: a state in which your brain is calm, at ease, and untroubled by worry. This common phrase describes a feeling of tranquility or state of carefree contentment that can be hard to achieve. (A quote from www.vocabulary.com)

Jude 1:2 May mercy and peace and love be increased to you.

2 John 1:3 There will be with us undeserved kindness, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, with truth and love.

2 Thessalonians 3:16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace constantly in every way. May the Lord be with all of you.

Colossians 3:15 Also, let the peace of the Christ rule in your hearts, for you were called to that peace in one body. …

To follow Jesus Christ

Luke 5:27 Now after this, he went out and saw a tax collector named Leʹvi sitting at the tax office, and he said to him: “Be my follower.” 28 And leaving everything behind, he rose up and began to follow him. 29 Then Leʹvi spread a big reception feast for him in his house, and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others who were dining with them.

Mark 8:34 He now called the crowd to him with his disciples and said to them: “If anyone wants to come after me, let him disown himself and pick up his torture stake and keep following me. 35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and for the sake of the good news will save it.

Matthew 10:35 For I came to cause division, with a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 Indeed, a man’s enemies will be those of his own household. 37 Whoever has greater affection for father or mother than for me is not worthy of me; and whoever has greater affection for son or daughter than for me is not worthy of me.

The opposite to haughtiness

Luke 17:10 Likewise, when you have done all the things assigned to you, say: ‘We are good-for-nothing slaves. What we have done is what we ought to have done.’”

Romans 7:14 For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin. 15 For I do not understand what I am doing. For I do not practice what I wish, but I do what I hate. 16 However, if I do what I do not wish, I agree that the Law is fine.

8 But sin, finding the opportunity afforded by the commandment, worked out in me covetousness of every sort, …

2 Corinthians 12:7 …To keep me from becoming overly exalted, I was given a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan, to keep slapping me, so that I might not be overly exalted.

Let's prepare our hearts

Isaiah 5:21 Woe to those wise in their own eyes And discreet in their own sight!.

Isaiah 2:11 The haughty eyes of man will be brought low, And the arrogance of men will bow down. Jehovah alone will be exalted in that day. 12 For it is the day belonging to Jehovah of armies. It is coming upon everyone who is haughty and lofty, Upon everyone, whether exalted or lowly,

Wisdom, one of Jehovah God's qualities

Luke 24:25 So he said to them: “O senseless ones and slow of heart to believe all the things the prophets have spoken!

1 Timothy 2:13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 Also, Adam was not deceived, but the woman was thoroughly deceived and became a transgressor.

2 Corinthians 11:3 But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent seduced Eve by its cunning, your minds might be corrupted…

James 1:5 So if any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him keep asking God, for he gives generously to all and without reproaching, and it will be given him. 6 But let him keep asking in faith, ….

Love for truth is essential for salvation

2 Thessalonians 2:9 But the lawless one’s presence is by the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and wonders 10 and every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth in order that they might be saved. 11 That is why God lets a deceptive influence mislead them so that they may come to believe the lie, 12 in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness.

Spiritually blind people accused Jesus of being under the influence of a demon. How wrong they were!

John 10:20 Many of them were saying: “He has a demon and is out of his mind. Why do you listen to him?” 21 Others said: “These are not the sayings of a demonized man.

Luke 11:24 “When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through waterless places in search of a resting-place, and after finding none, it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I moved.’ 25 And on arriving, it finds the house swept clean and adorned. 26 Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and after getting inside, they dwell there. So the final circumstances of that man become worse than the first.”

Luke 8:1 …And the Twelve were with him, 2 as were certain women who had been cured of wicked spirits and sicknesses: Mary who was called Magʹda·lene, from whom seven demons had come out; 3 Jo·anʹna the wife of Chuʹza, Herod’s man in charge; Su·sanʹna; and many other women, who were ministering to them from their belongings.

PetrW,

I not so sure about your explanation.

We don't know if John saw a vision of the whole earth or a part of it. And because this was presented in signs, even if John saw that a third of the whole land mass of the earth was burned, it does not necessarily have to mean that a third really will burn. Instead it could point to the volcanic eruption on Iceland that went on for months and the ashes covered huge areas on Iceland.

I think the Revelation chapter 8 help us to know in what time we live since 2010.

PetrW:

The conclusion of the text, "all the green grass will be burned", shows that this is a symbolic description. It is not a physical fire, but neither is it literal green vegetation.
