What does the Bible say about having peace with God?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, who made peace for us through His sacrifice.

The concept of peace with God is central to the gospel. Romans 5:1 tells us, 'Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.' This peace comes from reconciliation with God, which was accomplished by Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. In John 16:33, Jesus reassures His followers that despite the tribulations they will face in the world, they can 'be of good cheer' because He has overcome the world and secured peace for them. This peace is not merely an emotional state but a profound assurance that we are no longer at enmity with God, but rather, we stand justified and accepted in Christ.
