Romans 5:1
Chapter 5
Peace and Joy
1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, weOr let us have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Before we individually became believers, we were enemies of God. Do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? "Therefore whoever desires to be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." (James 4:4). Now, after accepting His Son as Saviour and Lord, we are at peace without guilt of our sins. The Lamb has paid the price so that we can be with Him!

Philippians 4:7
7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
peace of God — The oldest manuscripts and versions read, “The peace of Christ” (compare Phi_4:7). “The peace of God.” Therefore Christ is God. Peace was His legacy to His disciples before He left them (Joh_14:27), “MY peace I give unto you.” Peace is peculiarly His to give. Peace follows love (Col_3:14; Eph_4:2, Eph_4:3). JFB

Colossians 3:15-17
15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
Rule in your hearts - Βραβευετω· Let the peace of Christ judge, decide, and govern in your hearts, as the brabeus, or judge, does in the Olympic contests. No heart is right with God where the peace of Christ does not rule; and the continual prevalence of the peace of Christ is the decisive proof that the heart is right with God. When a man loses his peace, it is an awful proof that he has lost something else; that he has given way to evil, and grieved the Spirit of God. While peace rules, all is safe. Adam Clarke Commentary
