How does God speak peace to His people?

Psalm 85:8 reveals that God will speak peace to His people and His saints. This assurance points to a profound truth in Sovereign Grace theology: God's peace is rooted in the completed work of Christ on the cross, which reconciles us to God. When God speaks peace, it is both a declaration and a promise of our position in Christ, where His wrath has been satisfied. Understanding this helps believers to rest securely in God’s love and grace, knowing that our state before Him is not dependent on our own righteousness but solely on Christ's sacrifice.
