God Promises Peace with Him
Before Christ, humanity was at war with God — separated by sin, alienated by rebellion. But through the cross, Jesus made peace between God and man. These promises declare that in Christ, you are no longer an enemy of God but a beloved child, reconciled and at peace with your Creator.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between peace with God and peace of God?
Peace WITH God is positional — it refers to our reconciled relationship through Christ (Romans 5:1). Peace OF God is experiential — the inner tranquility we enjoy when we trust Him (Philippians 4:7). Every believer has peace with God; peace of God grows as we deepen our trust.
Can I lose my peace with God?
Once justified by faith, your standing of peace with God is secured by Christ's finished work, not your performance. You may lose the feeling of peace through sin or doubt, but your positional peace — your reconciled relationship — rests on the cross, not on your behavior.
