What does the Bible say about peace with god?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that peace with God is a gift of grace, secured through Jesus Christ and received by faith, bringing believers into reconciled fellowship with God. Romans 5:1-2 declares that, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God and access to grace through Christ. This peace is not earned by works, for Ephesians 2:8 teaches that salvation is by grace through faith. Christ gives His own peace to His people in John 14:27, while Philippians 4:7 describes God’s peace guarding their hearts and minds. As believers set their minds on the Spirit and pursue holiness, they grow in the peace God gives, as Romans 8:6, Isaiah 26:3, and Hebrews 12:14 affirm.
