How does being justified by faith relate to peace with God?

Answered in 1 source

Being justified by faith grants us peace with God, as stated in Romans 5:1, emphasizing that our justification is through Christ's work, not our own.

The relationship between justification by faith and peace with God is foundational to the Christian faith. Romans 5:1 clearly states that 'being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.' This peace is not merely an emotional state but a deep-seated assurance that the enmity due to our sins has been resolved through Christ's sacrificial death. Justification is a legal term that means we are declared righteous in God's sight, completely absolved from the penalty of our sins. Through faith in Christ, we embrace this truth, which leads to a reconciled relationship characterized by peace instead of hostility.
