The Believer’s Peace

Oh, the blessed state of a believer, of one who has embraced the gospel: he is at peace with God!  It is the glory of the Son of God to be the Prince of Peace.  The fruits of the Spirit are joy and peace.  The gospel is the gospel of peace.  The Kingdom of God consists of righteousness and peace.  The evangelical benediction is “grace and peace.”  Peace is an amiable thing; but how lovely, how amiable is peace with God! – Jeremiah Burroughs (1599-1646)
