Answered in 1 source
Believing in Christ's promises is essential for peace because it assures us of God's faithfulness to fulfill His covenant.
The foundation of our peace lies in our faith in God's promises. Galatians 3:18 reminds us that 'God gave it to Abraham by promise,' highlighting that our salvation and peace originate from God's steadfast commitment to His covenant. The peace we receive through Christ is also a peace of promise, as reaffirmed in Isaiah 54:10, where God assures that 'the mountains shall depart, and the hills shall be removed; but My kindness shall not depart from thee.' Believing in Christ allows us to rest in the assurance that He will fulfill all that He has promised and provides a perfect peace amidst life’s tribulations.
