What does peace with God mean?

Peace with God is a fundamental aspect of the Christian faith, highlighting the reconciliation that occurs when sinners are brought into a right relationship with God through Christ's sacrifice. As described in 2 Timothy 1:2, this peace is a result of God's grace and mercy. Formerly at enmity with God due to our sins, through Christ, we find forgiveness and the assurance of eternal life. This peace changes not only our standing before God but also influences our relationships with others, urging us to pursue peace in our interactions (Colossians 3:15).
