Christ is our peace because He reconciled us to God by breaking down the barriers of sin through His sacrifice.
In Ephesians 2, Paul clearly states that Christ is our peace, illustrating that through His death and resurrection, He has reconciled both Jews and Gentiles into one body, thus abolishing the enmity between us and God. The work of Christ on the cross was to bridge the gap created by sin, allowing believers to have direct access to the Father. This reconciliation is not based on our merit but is solely reliant on Christ's completed work, assuring us of our permanent state of peace with God, independent of our fluctuating emotions.
