What does it mean that Christ gives His people peace?

Answered in 1 source

Christ gives His people peace by reconciling them with God and calming their consciences through His sacrifice.

In Psalm 72:3, it states that 'the mountains shall bring peace to the people', illustrating that the reign of Christ fundamentally entails providing peace. This peace is both a reconciliation with God and a quieting of believers' troubled consciences. Peace in the heart is far more significant than peace among nations; it assures believers that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ (Romans 8:1). Christ achieved this reconciliation through His death, as indicated in Colossians 1:20, where peace is made 'through the blood of his cross'. Thus, having faith in Christ brings about a tranquility that surpasses all understanding, anchoring the believer's security in Him.
