How does justification relate to peace with God?

Answered in 1 source

Justification is the declaration of righteousness by God, which establishes our peace with Him through faith in Christ.

Justification is a core doctrine in Reformed theology, emphasizing that through faith in Jesus Christ, believers are declared righteous before God. Romans 5:1 states, 'Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.' This means that the violence of our sinful state is reconciled through Christ's righteousness being imputed to us. Justification assures us that we are no longer enemies of God but adopted as His children, which is fundamental for our relationship with Him. It highlights that true peace is not just the absence of conflict but the presence of a right standing before a holy God due to Christ's work.
