Why is the order of righteousness and peace important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The order of righteousness and peace is vital because one cannot have true peace with God or within oneself without first being justified and declared righteous.

The divine order of righteousness followed by peace is crucial for understanding how Christians relate to God. Only those who are made righteous through faith in Christ are granted true peace with God, as highlighted in Hebrews 7 where Melchizedek represents this order. Without this understanding, believers may mistakenly seek peace through their own efforts, rather than resting in the completed work of Christ, which assures their righteousness and consequent peace.
