The Bible teaches that true peace is found in the gospel of Christ, which is inseparable from truth.
The Scriptures make it clear that true peace cannot exist without truth. In Matthew 10:34, Jesus indicates that His message may bring division rather than peace, emphasizing the necessity of standing firm in the gospel even when it creates conflict. The Apostle Paul exemplified this when he confronted Peter over issues related to redemption by grace, prioritizing the truth of the gospel over false unity or peace. This teaches us that peace without truth is inherently deceptive and ultimately worthless.
