Christ's peace is validated through the everlasting covenant, His sacrificial blood, and the promise of God.
The assurance of Christ's peace stems from several theological grounds. Firstly, this peace is the subject of an everlasting covenant, as seen in Ezekiel 37:26, which emphasizes its permanence. Furthermore, in Colossians 1:20, Paul highlights that this peace was obtained by the blood of Christ on the cross. Such a sacrificial act was not merely a historical event; it holds eternal significance, bridging the gap between sinful humanity and a holy God. The assurance is further rooted in the fact that His peace is a gift that cannot be revoked (Romans 11:29), emphasizing that once given, it remains with believers forever.
