Peace with God and the Peace of God is a complete ten-part KJV Bible study examining one of the most important distinctions in the Christian life: the difference between the believer’s settled position before God and his daily experience of God’s peace. Beginning with Romans 5, the series establishes that peace with God comes through justification by faith and reconciliation through the blood of Jesus Christ, not through feelings, religion, morality, or human effort. From there, the study examines what it means to stand in grace, how a saved mind can still struggle with anxiety and fear, how prayer and thanksgiving guard the heart, why the peace of God must rule under the authority of Scripture, and how biblical truth stabilizes the believer when circumstances, emotions, and the world become noisy. The series also addresses peace without compromise, peace during suffering, the danger of counterfeit peace, and the difference between inward calm and genuine reconciliation with God. It concludes by looking prophetically to Jesus Christ as the Prince of Peace, distinguishing the believer’s present peace with God, the experiential peace of God, and the future righteous reign of Christ upon David’s throne. Readers will come away with a clearer understanding of justification, reconciliation, grace, Christian assurance, biblical thinking, suffering, discernment, prophecy, and the practical government of the mind by the Word of God.
