“A disciple is a person who has decided that the most important thing in their life is to learn how to do what Jesus said to do. A disciple is not a person who has things under control, or knows a lot of things. Disciples simply are people who are constantly revising their affairs to carry through on their decision to follow Jesus.” Dallas Willard

. . . will be peace. . . . itakuwa amani.
Peace is a non-anxious presence. Amani ni kutokuwepo kwa hofu.
The effect of right living will be quietness and confidence forever. Matokeo ya kuishi vizuri itakuwa utulivu na ujasiri wa milele.
Quietness He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul. Psalm 23.2 Katika malisho ya majani mabichi hunilaza, kando ya maji ya utulivu huniongoza. Zaburi 23.2
This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in His presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and He knows everything.

“Doubting is not skepticism nor is it unbelief. Skepticism is a decision to doubt everything deliberately, as a matter of principle and unbelief is a decision not to have faith in God. Both are conscious, willful choices. But doubting is different. Doubting is involuntary; it comes at unexpected times, slips up on us in unanticipated ways.”
Doubt is like some kind of spiritual growing pain. Faith is not belief without proof but trust without reservations—trust in a God who has shown Himself worthy of that trust.” Alister McGrath Doubting: Growing Through the Uncertainties of Life
Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant--not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.2 Corinthians 3.4-6
Natumaini hilo tunalo mbele za Mungu kwa njia ya Kristo. Si kwamba twatosha sisi wenyewe kufikiri neno lolote kwamba ni letu wenyewe bali utoshelevu wetu watoka kwa Mungu. Naye ndiye aliyetutosheleza kuwa wahudumu wa agano jipya. Si wa andiko bali wa roho kwa maana andiko huua bali roho huhuisha. 2 Wakorintho 3.4-6
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from Him anything we ask, because we obey His commands and do what pleases Him. Those who obey His commands live in Him, and He in them. And this is how we know that He lives in us: We know it by the Spirit He gave us. 1 John 3.21,23 & 24
