How do we know Christ is our peace?

Answered in 13 sources

Christ is our peace because He made reconciliation between God and man through His sacrificial death, fulfilling the requirements of the law.

Christ is identified as our peace in Ephesians 2:14-15, where Paul describes how He broke down the wall of enmity, reconciling us to God through His flesh. The peace offering points to this reality, as it signifies not only God's satisfaction but also His desire for communion with us. The elements of the peace offering, such as the fat which belongs to God, symbolize the depth of Christ's sacrifice and obedience, ultimately making peace possible. This peace is established only through His atoning work, reinforcing the assurance that believers can approach God with confidence.
