The Bible reveals that true peace with God is found through faith in Jesus Christ, who reconciles us to the Father.
In Psalm 4:8, David expresses his peace by stating, 'I will both lay me down in peace and sleep, for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.' This peace is not contingent upon external circumstances; rather, it flows from a reconciled relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1 reinforces this, stating, 'Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.' This peace is profound, surpassing human understanding and enabling believers to remain restful even in turmoil, drawing from the assurance that they are safe in the sovereign care of God.
