What is peace? The first definition one might think of is freedom from war. That is true, but let us look at some biblical truths about peace.
The most important peace we can have is peace with God. Paul begins many of his letters with “Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” See Romans 1:7, 1 Cor. 1:3, 2 Cor. 1:2, Gal.1:3, and Ephesians 1:2. If you look at the beginnings of the rest of Paul’s letters, you will find this exact phrase or something very close to it in them. Peace with God is that important. When a person is estranged from God, he has no hope of eternal life.
Peace is a gift from God. In case we think having peace with God requires that we perform some great deed, we must remember that God made the first move. He is searching for us, that we may find Him and give our hearts and our lives to Him. If He had not sent His Son to die for us, and if Jesus had not obeyed His Father, there would be no way we could obtain this peace.
