What does the Bible say about peace and righteousness?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that the kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit, emphasizing the righteousness of Jesus Christ as the source of peace.

Romans 14:17 states that the kingdom of God is not about external things but is fundamentally about righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. This righteousness refers specifically to the righteousness of Jesus Christ, which is granted to believers. When individuals possess the righteousness of Christ as their own before God, they experience genuine peace. This peace stems from the assurance that all of God’s requirements have been met in Christ, allowing believers to live without fear of condemnation or eternal separation from God. Thus, understanding and embracing Christ's righteousness is foundational for experiencing the peace that is vital within the Christian faith.
