Peace is God's gracious gift to faith. That is to say, as God gives us faith in Christ, he gives us peace. Peace was made for us by Christ when he reconciled us to God by his blood. And this peace is bestowed upon us as we trust him. Sprinkling our hearts with the blood of Christ, the Lord God proclaims peace in our hearts by his Spirit.
• Like Abel, we obtain from God the witness that we are righteous, made the righteousness of God in Christ (Hebrews 11:4).
• Like Enoch, we obtain testimony from God that we please God because Christ is made of God unto us "wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption" (Hebrews 11:5-6; 1 Corinthians 1:30).
• Like Job, we obtain peace from God when we are brought to our knees before God, trusting Christ (Hebrews 4:16).
