What does the Bible say about having peace?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that true peace is God’s gift, grounded not in favorable circumstances but in trusting Him through Christ. Philippians 4:6-7 calls believers to bring every anxiety to God in prayer, with thanksgiving, and promises that His surpassing peace will guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Isaiah 26:3 says God keeps in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in Him. Even when strength and earthly security fail, Psalm 73:26 declares that God remains the strength of His people’s hearts and their portion forever. This peace grows as believers rest in God’s faithful rule and grace.
