First, for the description of the person; wherein take notice of him.
1. By one of his Attributes. 2. By one of his special works, whereby he hath manifested that Attribute.
1. The Attribute of God, is implied, under those words, that he is called the God of peace. The Gracious God that provides for reconciliation between himself and sinners; that finds out ways and means to win those who are by nature Children of wrath, to be the Children of God. There is no peace, but God is Author of, whether natural peace, or civil peace, or political peace, he is pleased to provide for them: but there is a transcendent kind of peace, which doth with a peculiarity belong to Gods people, i.e. Spiritual peace between God and sinners, and that inward peace that we enjoy, if our conscience hath been troubled with terror of sin, Wrath, &c. Peace belongs so to God; as none of the Creatures can have any Glory of it, Psal. 4.7. The peace, is Gods peace: none can effect it, or devise it, but God; and with respect to this, he is more especially called the God of peace; because he hath found out a way to make reconciliation between God and his sinful perishing Creatures, 2 Cor. 5.19. Ephes. 2.14. &c. Col. 1.13.
