What does peace mean in the context of the Gospel?

Answered in 1 source

Peace in the Gospel context refers to the reconciliation we have with God through Christ, as emphasized in Luke 2:14.

In the context of the Gospel, peace signifies the restoration of our relationship with God resulting from Jesus' sacrificial work. The proclamation of 'peace on earth' in Luke 2:14 highlights that through Jesus' birth, the means of reconciliation has been fully initiated. This peace is not superficial or merely the absence of conflict; it speaks to the profound and enduring peace that believers experience knowing they are accepted in Christ and freed from the guilt of sin. It fundamentally transforms our relationship with God and secures our hope in the promise of eternal life, which is underpinned by His righteousness. This peace is cultivated in the heart of the believer by the Holy Spirit, who grants assurance of salvation and security in Christ's finished work.
