Three Kinds Of Peace

There are three kinds of peace mentioned in the Bible.
This is a peace that comes because of our relationship with God. We were by birth, vessels of the wrath of God and enemies to God as the nature of Satan who is the adversary of God, was injected into our lives when Adam fell to sin in the Garden of Eden. As 1 Corinthians 15.36 says, ‘the sting of death’ entered our body. The divine nature of God and Satan’s nature of sin was always in conflict.
There came a necessity for a mediator to reconcile the two:
1 Timothy 2.5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,
Jesus Christ was God and Man and so was able to reconcile both sides as he bore both natures and understood both parties. Romans 5.1 speaks about the peace that comes to man when he is reconciled with God through the mediator Jesus Christ. When we come to the presence of God, we are guilty of many things.
Romans 5.10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
The secret of receiving peace with God is ‘justification by faith in His blood’. All our past, present and future sins are taken care of through the blood of Jesus. Although we have not seen the crucifixion of Jesus, we are justified when we believe in this biblical truth which gives us peace with God. God guarantees us that because Jesus shed His blood for our sins, He will not remember it any more. This God’s offer to us and we receive peace with Him only when we believe it. This frees us from all our guilty conscience and gives us divine peace. God’s offer is the truth unlike worldly offers which may be deceptive.
Romans 8.6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
The flesh has weaknesses and shortcomings and it will hound us with a guilty conscience that though we want to do good, we are unable to do so. It makes us hate ourselves sometimes as we cannot understand why we behave badly even when we do not want to. Then, we cannot forgive ourselves. Paul writes about the struggles that we face when we live in our flesh in Romans 7 and the freedom we receive when we live in the Spirit in Romans 8. There is unrest in us though we have peace with God as we struggle in our flesh. It is when we overcome the flesh that we have peace within us.
It is sometimes not possible or easy to live in peace with everyone. But we should make an effort as far as possible with godly wisdom to live at peace with all even when people persecute you and mock you.
Matthew 10:34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn “‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law — a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
It is not possible to live at peace with all but we must try from our side to live amicably.

- Peace with God

- Peace with oneself
Romans 8.6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
The flesh has weaknesses and shortcomings and it will hound us with a guilty conscience that though we want to do good, we are unable to do so. It makes us hate ourselves sometimes as we cannot understand why we behave badly even when we do not want to. Then, we cannot forgive ourselves. Paul writes about the struggles that we face when we live in our flesh in Romans 7 and the freedom we receive when we live in the Spirit in Romans 8. There is unrest in us though we have peace with God as we struggle in our flesh. It is when we overcome the flesh that we have peace within us.
- Peace with Others
It is sometimes not possible or easy to live in peace with everyone. But we should make an effort as far as possible with godly wisdom to live at peace with all even when people persecute you and mock you.
Matthew 10:34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
