First, Peace with God or stable tranquillity and sweet calmness of Mind; Sin had broken off our friendship and peace with God: but being justified by faith we have remission of sins, and so the cause of enmity being taken away, peace is restored,1 Even that peace of God which passeth understanding, and is in stead of a guard to keep our hearts and minds in Christ; that golden Legacy which Christ bequeathed unto his Disciples, when he left the World.2 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you. Being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ. And from this peace begins lively consolation against the temptations of sin, Satan and the World: from the sense hereof the faithful soul may triumph with David, The Lord is with me, 3I will not fear what man can do unto me; and with the Apostle, Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect? It is God that justifieth: who is he that condemneth.
