What does it mean that God will make even our enemies to be at peace with us?

Answered in 1 source

It means that when our ways please the Lord, He brings peace even among adversaries, as shown in Proverbs 16:7.

The promise that God will make our enemies to be at peace with us, articulated in Proverbs 16:7, conveys a profound spiritual truth. When a sinner’s ways please God, primarily through faith in Christ, divine intervention can turn enmity into cooperation or peaceful coexistence. This does not imply that all enemies will like us, but rather that God sovereignly orchestrates circumstances where peace can exist. The example of Jacob and Esau illustrates this dynamic, where God transformed a hostile relationship into reconciliation through acts of grace and humility.
