Verse from Romans

Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1

While encouraging the believers in Jesus in Rome, Paul reminded them, “Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). Sin separates us from God, but Christ’s atoning sacrifice makes a way for us to have a relationship with Him (5:9-10). Jesus offers peace for today and peace for eternity (v. 1)—providing “access by faith into this grace,” “the hope of the glory of God” (v. 2), and hope despite earthly suffering (vv. 3-4). 

Peace with God is more than simply a feeling; it’s a gift we receive through faith in Jesus. Whether we feel close to God or not, His peace is available to us, in times of serenity and times of chaos.
