Having Peace with God vs. knowing the peace of God

[Ronald Nolette]

Many believers get confused between teh two and mistake them and put them in a false way. They are very different with each other. One has to do with our position in Christ and one has to do with our day to walk with god.

Let me explain.

Romans 5
King James Version

5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:


This is the verse that explains that we, the moment we placed our trust in the death and resurrection of Jesus , have ceased being gods' enemy.

Rom. 5: 10 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

In a very real sense God is at war with all unbelievers! His wrath abides on the unbeliever (John 3:36). When we trusted Christ (biblical faith is trust not just a belief) The war was over and an eternal peace treaty was made.

This is having peace with God.

Now about having the peace of God. This is only available for those who have made peace with god. this one is not a cessation of hostilities but that deep all abiding peace that comes when we walk with God. This is conditional and is dependent on our obedient walk with God.

John 14:27
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.

2 Corinthians 13:11
Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

Galatians 6:16
And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

1. Philippians 4:7
   And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
   I
2. Philippians 4:9
   Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be.

I hope this helps some.

Peace with god is a once for all never to be lost event that makes us forever justified before God through Jesus.

Having the peace of God means living with a zero balance inour sin account! that we are confessed to date and striving to walk in the light the Lord has given you.

One ia what some call a positional truth and the other an experiential truth.

Simply put peace with God is what you get when you repent and are born again and are no longer his enemy. The peace of God that transcends understanding is a deep inner peace bestowed upon us by the Holy Spirit.

This is something that without even understanding, came about a good 10 years back, since I bought my house. Did not know how I would be able to take care of it. A peace came over me as, realizing we have no control over certain things I let it just go, placed all my concerns at His feet and He has come through in spades. Walking in His peace is awesome and so needed! thinking way back when I was a crazy driver, having to pass everyone and ending up at the red light before the others, lol...what a dope I was! That has ALL changed immensely! I am now very calm behind the wheel and allow others to pass me and make it to that red light first, lol...If I am stopped at a light I wanted to make it through, I now just thank Him for knowing best...hey, who knows, if I'd kept up with the crazy driving...it would have eventually killed someone or myself! I see it as His way of preventing bad things from happening...patience is such a virtue :) And, just knowing He always has our best interests in mind. Amen!

I have had that sort of peace throughout this year of covid and lockdown. It is a peace that really does not come from circumstances but from God.

And...it sure does pass all human understanding, doesn't it?

Sure does Nancy. It's peace, but not as we know it Jim.
