Through Christ’s work on the cross, we have peace with God. This is not merely an inner peace within us, but rather a peace that the Old Testament would describe as shalom – a complete wholeness of your personhood, particularly in your relationship with God. Because of this peace, we have the hope of the glory of God and we can boast even in our sufferings. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. We are now reconciled to God. We were enemies with God in the kingdom of Adam with no hope of escaping that kingdom. It is a kingdom that leads to sin and death, brought about by Adam’s sin. The trespass of this one man brought about condemnation. He is our representative head. However, Jesus’ obedience brought about our rescue from that kingdom. We are no longer in that kingdom, but we now belong to the kingdom of King Jesus, in which grace reigns supreme. It is through that grace that we have eternal peace with God, a peace that transcends all understanding.
