Peace with God brings peace of God. There is a difference! Peace with God means that our conscience has been cleared. Our sinful soul has been cleansed by the blood of Christ. This must be the first step of a relationship with a holy God. The peace of God involves the mind, body and spirit trusting in the power and grace of God. This comes with knowing Him more and more and growing in our relationship with Him. This takes effort on our part!
But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. . . . (Colossians 3:14-16)
Know Jesus? . . . Know peace. No Jesus? . . . No peace!
