Peace

Psalms 85:8 KJV
I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

Whenever the Lord speaks to His people it is a message of peace. Even if the words are of warning or judgment, the purpose God has in mind is peace. God's desire is to see His people know the peace of mind that comes from having things right in their lives and the peace with God that results from having a right relationship with the Lord.

This peace is only possible through the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Living Word of God. When God speaks peace, He speaks Jesus Christ, as the solution to all man's obstacles to peace.

Then, once we have this peace and our relationship with Christ is secured, God urges us not to return again to folly. Even the people of God are prone to the foolishness of this world. Like the woman taken in adultery, Christ forgives and says "go, and sin no more.."
