Why is the gospel a message of peace?

Answered in 1 source

The gospel is a message of peace because it proclaims reconciliation with God through Christ (Ephesians 2:14).

The gospel is fundamentally a message of peace, as it communicates reconciliation between God and humanity through the work of Jesus Christ. In Ephesians 2:14, Paul describes Christ as 'our peace,' signifying that through His death and resurrection, the enmity caused by sin is removed. This peace is not merely the absence of conflict but a holistic wholeness that restores the believer's relationship with God. The assurance that God is no longer hostile toward us, but rather welcomes us into His grace, is a pivotal aspect of the gospel that brings joy and comfort to believers, encouraging them to share this message of peace with others.
