peace

Compare (John 14:27).

Peace is spoken of in Scripture in three ways:

(1) "Peace with God"; (Romans 5:1); this is the work of Christ into which the individual enters by faith; (Ephesians 2:14); (Romans 5:1).

(2) "The peace of God"; (Philippians 4:7); inward peace, the state of soul of that believer who, having entered into peace with God through faith in Christ, has also committed to God through prayer and supplication with thanksgiving all his anxieties; (Luke 7:50); (Philippians 4:6).

(3) Peace "on earth"; (Luke 2:14); (Psalms 72:7); (Psalms 85:10); (Isaiah 9:6); (Isaiah 11:1); the universal prevalency of peace in the earth under the kingdom. (Matthew 10:34) was Christ's warning that the truth which He was proclaiming would not bring in the kingdom age of peace, but conflict rather. (John 14:27).
