How do we know that Jesus' sacrifice brings peace?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus' sacrifice is the foundation of our peace, affirmed by His declaration of 'peace be unto you' after His resurrection.
The peace that Jesus offers is rooted in His atoning sacrifice, which He accomplished on the cross. In the sermon, it is explained that our sins separate us from God and leave us without hope. However, Christ bore our sins and condemnation, thereby making peace possible (Romans 5:1). His declaration of 'peace be unto you' embodies this truth, revealing that through His death, He has reconciled us to God. Furthermore, passages such as Ephesians 2:14 affirm that Christ Himself is our peace, having broken down the dividing wall between us and God. Thus, we can confidently know that peace with God comes through understanding and accepting Jesus' sacrificial love for His people.
