We live in a world where peace is becoming less and less common. There’s so much confusion about the Truth which causes division.
Thankfully, there are plenty of scriptures on peace in the Bible. We can all relate to suffering from situations that steal our peace and joy. The good news is, if the Bible is our Truth then we don’t have to settle for that.
The Bible tells us specifically that the enemy comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. He doesn’t want us to experience the peace that Jesus came to give us.
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” John 10:10 ESV
What Does the Bible Say About Peace?
The Bible says peace comes from within you. No promise in the Bible says we will have peace in this world. In fact, there are Bible verses that say as Christians we will experience trouble.
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 KJV
Jesus tells us in the Bible verse about peace above to be of good cheer because He has overcome the world.
Having peace comes through faith in Jesus Christ. As a believer, we should be comforted with peace knowing Jesus already overcame the world.
The Bible is full of promises to the believer. These promises speak about God and His unfailing love for us. We need to rest in Jesus and trust that He is with us and will comfort us with peace.
