The God of Peace

Romans 15:33

 

This seems to have been one of PaulÕs favorite names for God (2 Corinthians 13:11; Philippians 4:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; 2 Thessalonians 3:16; Hebrews 13:20; Romans 16:20). What a good name for him it is — ÒThe God of Peace!Ó

      ÒThe God of PeaceÓ made peace between himself and his people by the blood of Christ. His thoughts toward us are Òthoughts of peaceÓ from everlasting (Jeremiah 29:11). He entered into a Covenant of Peace with Christ for us (Ezekiel 34:25; 37:26). And the Counsel of Peace is between them both (Zechariah 6:13).

      Christ our Savior is the Prince of Peace and the Way of Peace. It pleased God to reconcile us to himself by punishing his own dear Son in our place (Colossians 1:20; Isaiah 53:4-11; Psalm 89:19-37). The chastisement of our peace was laid on him; and with his stripes we are healed.

      It is God the Spirit who gives sinners, when born again by his grace, Òpeace in believingÓ (Romans 15:13), true and solid peace of conscience, the peace of God, Òwhich passeth all understanding.Ó
