Peace of God
The “Peace of God” encompasses a wide array of definitions. “Peace of God” is a gift from God. It is simpler than the peace that we may think. For example, I picked a sample of three gentlemen in my fraternity and asked them what is their first thought that arises with the phrase “Peace of God.” The responses in order was:
. A society without wars
. A God that condemns wars
. A union of all religions. As interesting as their responses are, my research has
found that the peace that God has endowed within his people are, “peace of mind and
heart.”
Site http://www.realtime.net/~wdoud/ice/peace.html exhibits an interesting viewpoint of “Peace of God.” It begins by defining peace from the bible, where peace came from a Greek word “eireinei,” which refers to the “mental attitude of tranquility based on a relationship with God in the Christian way of life.” The site further analyzes “peace” in two ways.
“There is a personal peace of God which comes when a person accepts Jesus Christ as Savior.”
“There is the peace of God which is available on a daily basis as the believer participates in the Christian way of life according to the plan of God.”
The site continues further by emphasizing that “Peace of God is never available apart from Grace.” Essentially through God's Grace, he dissolved the barrier between man and God. So that when “the unbeliever responds to Grace by faith, the result is peace.”
Another site I found interesting in the way they defined “peace” was http://www.wolfe.net/~bibline/info/peace.html. This site contains diverse definitions of the biblical view of “peace.” Although this site does not exactly define the phrase “Peace of God,” the ...

Although I believe I have concluded my search for the “Peace of God,” I decided to search one more site. The site that I found is http://www.calvarychapel.com/lakevilla/tracts/peace.htm, which similar to the former site. It begins by defining God's peace in two ways,
“Freedom from worries, troubles, and fears.”
“Peace of mind: a state of friendliness and calm.”
These two definitions regarding the peace of God are relevant in the life of a chivalrous knight in that a knight faces adversity many times. One cannot be worried or troubled because it is a waste of energy. For if a knight is constantly worried and afraid, he cannot have enough courage to defeat his enemy. Also without a “state of friendliness and calmness,” a knight is not being chivalrous if he does not have peace of mind and acts ungentlemanly – like.

“To many of us, our beliefs are of fundamental importance. For me the teaching of Christ and my own personal accountability before God provide a framework in which I try to lead my life, I like so many of you, have drawn great comfort in difficult times from Christ’s words and example.”
No, peace, true peace, can only come when Yeshua (Jesus) reigns from His throne, in His city, Jerusalem, and all the world bows their knee to their King Messiah. Yeshua, Jesus, IS the Peace of Jerusalem!

Imagine the peace if everyone allowed themselves to feel gratitude for everything and allowed their hearts to be warmed by the day to day.
Should wars can be avoided, the peace is always a satisfactory result. Some ancient but enlightening religious pacifism upheld the peace under any circumstance. According to the New Testament, it’s advocated to “love” your “enemies” so that you can be decent “peacemakers”; and
As we have looked in to the Christian worldview of God, our humanity, the Son of God, and the restoration of our lives back into God’s purpose. Now we have a better understanding of what it means to be a member of the Christian community. God wants believers to dwell in union and in community having the same mind that is in Jesus Christ (Phil 2:1-11). This paper showed how God and Jesus Christ are at the fundamental core of all Christian beliefs regardless of the countless differences many Christians may
“I do know that for the sympathy of one living being, I would make peace with all. I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.”
Pay special attention that you don't try to keep peace by spouting nonsense, and that you never, ever excuse your own nonsense by charging God with it!

What is peace good for? It is good for the world, it is good for relationships
We all know God is love and it is shown everywhere in the Bible. To be merciful means to have broad grace. To be just means to be respectably good and fair. These two attributes seem to contradict each other because how can a merciful God judge a person for their wrongdoing or how can someone who hates sin have mercy on the people who do evil? Many atheists question how could a merciful God be just? The answer to this question is Gods mercy is expressed to us through His love. God is a perfect God meaning his justice and mercifulness is also faultless. This paper will focus on comparing and contrasting the attributes God is just and merciful by pointing out the similarities, differences, and by showing ways in which God demonstrates them to mankind.
