"Annuit Coeptis"  On July 4, 1776, the Congress of the United States commissioned a committee to design "the Great Seal" of America. This seal was to be a graphic illustration symbolizing those principles which represent what America stands for. There are two drawings that make up the Great Seal of America and they both appear on the back of our current one-dollar bill. We are more familiar with the one of an American bald eagle clutching thirteen arrows in his left talons and an olive branch in his right talons. The second drawing is that of an unfinished pyramid, with a radiating eye at the top in place of the apex of the pyramid with the words Annuit Coeptis written above it.

The meaning of an eye, set in a radiating triangle, placed at the top of an unfinished pyramid, was meant to represent the all-seeing eye of a provident God. The fact that it sits atop an unfinished pyramid illustrates that God alone is the finisher of our nation. The translation of the Latin words Annuit Coeptis written over top of the eye is: "It [referring to the eye of providence] has favored our undertakings." In his official "Remarks and Explanation," Charles Thomson, one of the designers of the Great Seal said that the eye and the motto "allude to the many signal interpositions of providence in favour of the American cause." In graphic form this drawing symbolizes a nation under God's watchful care and expresses the idea of "God bless America."

How To Make Peace With God
To Have the Peace of God

For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.                                    John  3:16

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Church.                      Romans 5:1

For the Son of man is not come to destroy mens lives,
but to save them.                                            Luke 9:56

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
