Peace with God is attained through faith in Jesus Christ, who reconciles us by His sacrifice.
To have peace with God, one must recognize the role of Jesus Christ as the mediator between humanity and God. Romans 5:1 declares, 'Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.' Peace is not derived from personal efforts or merit but comes wholly through believing in Christ’s finished work on the cross, where He reconciled us to God by taking on the wrath due to our sins. Accepting Christ's sacrifice allows believers to enjoy a tranquil relationship with God, secure in the knowledge that their sin has been dealt with and they are accepted in the beloved.
