Concise Bible Dictionary
:
This term is used to express the present attitude and
testimony
of
God
toward
man
consequent on the declaration of God’s
righteousness
in the
death
of Christ. The state of man which was obnoxious to the
holiness
of God by reason of
sin
has been removed in the
cross
. Hence the
believer
is justified by
faith
, and has peace (peace of
conscience
) with God through
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ (
Rom. 5:1
1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: (Romans 5:1)
). Christ made peace through the
blood
of the cross (
col. 1:20
20
And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. (Colossians 1:20)
); and to the
Christian
God is “the God of peace,” and the Lord Jesus is “the Lord of peace.” He also is peace between believers, having on the cross broken down the barrier between
Jew
and Gentile (
Eph. 2:14-15
14
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; (Ephesians 2:14‑15)
).
When the Lord Jesus left the
earth
He left to the disciples peace, and said, “My peace I give unto you.” Peace is also spoken of as the state of
heart
in which a believer is kept in regard of circumstances. The record in the
Old
Testament
is, “Thou wilt keep him in
perfect
peace (peace, peace, margin) whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee” (
Isa. 26:3
3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. (Isaiah 26:3)
). The Christian makes his requests known unto God, and the peace of God that passeth all understanding keeps his heart and mind through Christ Jesus—peace of heart (
Phil. 4:6-7
6
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6‑7)
). Blessed privilege! and what a contrast to “There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked” (
Isa. 57:21
21
There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked. (Isaiah 57:21)
). The Lord Jesus will, in the future, among His other titles, be hailed as
PRINCE
OF PEACE (
Isa. 9:6
6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
).
