How can a believer be at peace with their enemies?

Answered in 1 source

A believer can be at peace with their enemies through the safety provided by Christ's redemptive work.

The concept of peace in Scripture, particularly in Proverbs 16:7, refers to a state of safety from enemies rather than harmonious agreement. Through the blood of Christ, believers have been reconciled to God, and despite ongoing struggles, they can live without the fear of eternal condemnation (Colossians 1:20). Thus, while they may face hatred or persecution from the world (2 Timothy 3:12, John 15:20), the ultimate power of sin, death, and hell has been broken, granting them peace and the assurance of eternal safety in Christ.
