How do we know that God's peace governs our hearts?
Answered in 1 source
God's peace governs our hearts through the assurance of His love and through Christ, who reconciles us to God and to one another.
According to Colossians 3:15, we are called to let the peace of God rule in our hearts, which is vital for unity in the body of Christ. This peace is a result of the reconciliation extended to us through Christ, who broke down the barriers between God and us, as well as between believers. Such peace fosters a harmony and tranquility that aids in overcoming contention and strife, promoting a collective identity within the church as one body under Christ. The work of the Holy Spirit assures us of this peace, enabling us to reflect God's character in our relationships with others.
