En el sermón titulado "Tres dimensiones de la paz" predicado por Joel Coyoc, se aborda la doctrina de la paz desde una perspectiva bíblica, enfatizando la necesidad de paz con Dios, con los demás y con uno mismo. El predicador destaca que estas dimensiones de paz son interdependientes y se encuentran en la obra redentora de Cristo. Se exponen varios pasajes de la Escritura, especialmente Romanos 12:18 y Efesios 2:11-18, que ilustran cómo la paz con Dios es fundamentada en la salvación otorgada a través de la fe en Jesucristo, quien satisfizo la ira divina. Así, la paz interna solo se puede experimentar genuinamente cuando uno está en reconciliación con Dios y sigue sus mandamientos. Esta enseñanza resalta la importancia de la redención y cómo la paz se convierte en un subproducto del deleite en la obediencia a Dios, enfatizando así una visión reformada sobre la salvación y su implicación práctica en la vida del creyente.

The Bible teaches that peace with God is achieved through faith in Jesus Christ, who reconciles us through His sacrifice.
According to Romans 5:1-2, being justified by faith gives us peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. This peace is not automatic but is a result of Christ's redemptive work on the cross, where He satisfied God's wrath and reconciled us to Him. Colossians 1:19-20 confirms this by stating that God reconciled all things through Christ, making peace through His blood shed on the cross. Therefore, true peace with God stems from acknowledging our sins, believing in Christ’s atonement, and trusting that He has removed our enmity with God.
Romans 5:1-2, Colossians 1:19-20
Pursuing peace with others is essential for Christians because it reflects our love for God and promotes unity within the body of Christ.
Romans 12:18 instructs believers to live peaceably with all people as much as possible, indicating that our pursuit of peace is not merely a suggestion but a divine mandate. The gospel teaches that peace with others is a fruit of our reconciliation with God and a sign of genuine faith. Ephesians 2:14 describes Christ as our peace, who breaks down the walls of hostility between us. Thus, seeking peace with others not only fulfills God's command but also testifies to the transformative power of the gospel in our lives.
Romans 12:18, Ephesians 2:14
We know Christ's sacrifice brings peace because Scripture explicitly states that He reconciled us to God by His blood on the cross.
Colossians 1:20 declares that through Christ's sacrifice, peace was made by the blood of His cross. This act of atonement means that the conflict resulting from our sin has been resolved. Romans 5:1-2 reinforces this truth by affirming that justification by faith grants us peace with God. The consistent message throughout the New Testament underscores that Christ's sacrificial death is the foundation for our peace, thereby alleviating our guilt and shame before a holy God. Therefore, the peace we receive stems directly from Christ's accomplished work on our behalf.
Colossians 1:20, Romans 5:1-2
The relationship between peace and obedience is that true inner peace flows from our obedience to God's commandments.
1 John 3:21-24 highlights that our confidence before God is tied to our heart’s response to His commandments. Obeying God's word fosters spiritual peace, as we align with His will and experience His presence in our lives. Isaiah 26:3 states, 'You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You.' This connection illustrates that as we live in accordance with God's commands, the outcome is a peaceful heart, because we are in harmony with the nature of God and His intentions for our lives. Conversely, disobedience often leads to inner turmoil, as it distances us from experiencing the fullness of His peace.
1 John 3:21-24, Isaiah 26:3
