Answered in 2 sources
Having peace with God is essential for Christians as it assures them of reconciliation, forgiveness, and eternal security in Christ.
Peace with God is vital for Christians because it signifies reconciliation and the end of enmity between God and humanity brought about by sin. Romans 5:1 tells us that through faith in Christ, we are justified and enjoy peace with God, which reassures believers that their sins are forgiven and they are accepted as righteous in His sight. This divine peace allows for a confident relationship with God, enhancing spiritual growth and offering comfort amid trials and tribulations. Additionally, this peace is eternal, ensuring that believers are secure in their standing with God both in this life and the life to come, freeing them from the fear of judgment.
