Why is the doctrine of peace through Christ important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine of peace through Christ is essential as it signifies reconciliation between God and believers, and among believers themselves.

Peace through Christ is one of the great themes of the New Testament, particularly highlighted in Ephesians 2:14-18. This peace is twofold: it reconciles believers to God while also creating unity among them. Paul explains that through Christ's sacrifice, the enmity between God and sinners is abolished, thus creating a means for sinners to approach God with confidence. Furthermore, this peace extends between believers, breaking down barriers that once separated Jews and Gentiles. The importance of this doctrine lies in the fact that it highlights the work of Christ not only in restoring our relationship with God but also in establishing harmony within the Church, thus fulfilling God's redemptive purpose.
