What kind of peace is this?
Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
We have peace with God because of the blood of the cross (Ephesians 2:13-14). “For he himself (Christ Jesus) is our peace…” This is the doctrine out from which comes the practice of manifesting peace with God because we live as ones who have peace with God. Jesus Christ’s blood was shed to pay for every error of mankind (1John 2:2). Because all of our errors have been cleansed by his blood we have been justified. This is why we have peace with God – we have been justified.
Romans 4:25-5:1 "who (Jesus our Lord) was delivered up for our offenses and raised for our justification. Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
