When "peace with God" is spoken of, sin is the disturbing thing, and conscience the thing disturbed; but when the "peace of God" is spoken of, earthly care is the disturbing thing, and heart and mind the things disturbed.

Faith never makes itself an object. It looks up to the Lord and says, “I want no better guarantee of certain blessing than that which ‘Thy Word’ gives me.” And looking into the face of every gainsayer it can boldly say, “Hath He said, and shall He not do it? Or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?” (Num. 23:19).
Now, reader, for a plain question: Have you “peace with God”? and if not, in view of what God is, what Christ has done, and what the Spirit has testified, we ask, WHY NOT?
But there is yet another aspect of peace to consider.
(Peace of heart and mind.)
“Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:6-7).
