Not surprisingly, the Bible has a lot to say about peace, as it attributes peace to Jesus himself: the
Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). In fact, the word peace appears somewhere between 200-400 times in the
Bible.
In addition to the items listed above, biblical peace:
Guards our hearts from the devil (Philippians 4:7)
Brings us joy (Proverbs 12:20)
Is a blessing from God (Psalm 29:11)
Assists us during dire circumstances (Isaiah 54:10)
In a scary and violent world, the peace of God grants us a tranquility you cannot find
anywhere else and offers a light to others who do not yet know that peace.
We live in an eye-for-an-eye, revenge culture. We also live in scary times. But the peace of God
transcends our circumstances and world. With this, we can be rest assured that he will come and
make everything right once more.
Our peace can also stir the curiosity of those who do not believe in Christ. They will see us exercise
a spirit of tranquility, faith, and they will want to know the reason for our faith in shaky times.
When they ask, we can have a reason at the ready. “I am not afraid because I have the peace of
Christ”.
