There is the peace WITH God, and there is the peace OF God.”
The peace WITH God was accomplished when He shed His blood
for our sins, making peace between us, after sin separated us. God reconciled
us to Himself by the gospel.
"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.
“And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your
mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh
through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his
sight:
“If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be
not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was
preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a
minister;" - Colossians 1:20-23 KJV
We have peace with God by the blood of His cross, and by our
obedience to the gospel by repenting of our sins and being baptized in Jesus
name for the remission of our sins. (Acts 2:38)
The peace OF God is found when we receive the gift of God’s
Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:39)
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the
Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all
things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with
you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let
not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." - John 14:26-27 KJV
