Peace

Names of God

“For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation,” (Eph. 2:14 NKJV)

God has many names and titles in the Bible. Each one tells us something important about Him—His character and how He relates to us. And how we must relate to Him. Here is another one of His many Names, which is Peace.

Jesus is our Peace

“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

Jesus Himself is our peace 

The person and work of Jesus Christ is God’s ultimate provision of peace for us. By grace through faith in Jesus Christ, God made it possible for all people to live at peace with one another. It also means that we can be reconciled to God and experience peace with Him:

“Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us” (Romans 5:1, NLT).

Therefore

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” (John 14:27 ESV)

“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:7)
