       So, we as Christians have peace with God. What is this peace with God? What Paul is talking about here a legal standing with God, a position, how God sees us. It’s God’s perspective. We have peace with God in that we are not at war with him and on the opposing side. We are not enemies of God, as other Scriptures talk of unbelievers. Our father is not Satan, not the the devil any longer. Our Father is God. And with this legal standing, then, obviously comes a feeling of peace. There is not supposed to be anymore fear or dread of God in how we approach him. Usually the unbeliever can feel fear and dread when coming to God, and rightfully so because that person is not on good terms with him. We, as Christians, still retain our reverent fear of God, but in our relationships and in our dealings with God, we now have peace.
