Peace

PEACE. Employed in various phrases, such as "Peace be to thee," "Go in peace," etc., this word occurs both in the O.T. and the N.T. as a common form of salutation. Ex 4:18; Mark 4:34; Luke 10:5; John 20:19, 2 Chr 11:21; Rom 1:7. In a more special sense, the word denotes a Christian grace obtained by faith in Christ, who by his death has restored us to peace with God. Rom 5:1; Eph 2:14. Peace with ourselves springs from peace with God, and peace with God from the assurance of pardon and reconciliation with God by the atoning merits of Christ, who "is our peace." Without such peace there can be no true happiness.
