What does the Bible say about peace and sin?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that there is no peace for the wicked until sin is addressed by God.

Scripture clearly indicates that true peace cannot coexist with sin. In Isaiah 57:21, God states, 'There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.' Similarly, Jehu, when asked about peace, replies, 'What peace? So long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel are so many.' This highlights the unchanging nature of God; He cannot overlook sin. True peace comes only through reconciliation with God, which requires sin to be dealt with justly through Christ's sacrifice.
