Three Types Of Peace

God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid. Isaiah 12:2

Most people yearn for one thing more than anything else: inner peace. Without it, they have no lasting joy or security. The word peace is used in the Bible in three main ways. First, there is spiritual peace—peace between God and man. Second, there is psychological peace—peace within. Third, there is relational peace—peace among mankind. The Bible says that sin has destroyed or seriously affected all three of these dimensions of peace. When man was created, he was at peace with God, with himself, and with others. But when he rebelled against God, man lost peace in every way. These dimensions of peace can be restored. We cannot bring this about, but God can, and has. Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, was sent into the world to take away our sins by His death on the cross, therefore making it possible for us to be at peace—with God, within ourselves, and with each other. By His resurrection, Christ showed that God desires that all people know perfect peace. Christ provides the power to overcome every sin. He can break the ropes, fetters, and chains of sin; but each person must repent, confess, commit, and surrender to Christ first. Right now, it can be settled and we can know peace, joy, and fellowship with God, with ourselves, and with others.
