The Gospel of peace is justification by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. It's through faith in Christ that we're made righteous before God because of what He did that we could never do (i.e., live perfectly before God and fulfill the law). So, the good news is that we (sinners) who are enemies of God by nature can have peace with God through faith in Christ alone!
"Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:1).
"For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross" (Colossians 1:19-20).

For me, the Gospel of Peace is that I have now been reconciled to God through Jesus Christ, and as am ambassador for His Kingdom, I can now offer this reconcilaton to others. Perhaps there is someone on this forum who is searching. I answer questions for fun, but I am ready, able, and willing to implant the Word in a fertile soul ("foot ready").

there is an previous asserting: practise will save you interior the day of adversity. Paul replaced into making use of the comparable theory. If someone is waiting of their heart by rather residing out the gospel of peace of their own existence, then that's an undemanding element to pass without delay on your 'stroll' interior the Spirit. you will not fumble around to furnish an answer for why you think what you think. Scripture says, 'after having completed all, we stand!' lower back, we stand on our toes; our toes, consequently, symbolize our stance in faith in direction of existence frequently. quicker or later all of us get examined in attempting situations and prerequisites. we can be waiting for those detrimental situations if we've been given our 'footwear' on! Jer. 12:5 "in case you have run with the footmen, and that they have wearied thee, then how are you able to preserve horses? and [if] interior the land of peace, [wherein] you have confidence, [they drained you out], then how are you going to do interior the swelling of Jordan [while it overflows]?" do not wait till some 'flood' happens on your existence; those dashing activities will sweep you away! you could shoot 'arrow prayers' to God while you're reacting to some calamity on your existence, even if that is puzzling to combine faith with those prayers while there is an overflow of thoughts and activities. Its extra helpful to have the ark geared up earlier the rains come. It replaced into Noah's faith that stored him, extra desirable than the boat!

It is a word picture for being prepared for spirutual battle. The Gospel of Peace is the Gospel of Jesus, (Gospel means "good news").

It is talking about the peace which Jesus established between us and our Father in heaven. Since Jesus took our sins on Himself, there is NO WRATH of God which is going to condemn us for our disobediences.
It is impossible to be secure in our fight against the devil and his followers unless we stand on the solid ground of knowing God's absolute love for us. So we need to keep reminding ourselves of the "Gospel of Peace".

It is compared to the Roman soldier's hobnail footgear. With those, he "dug in" to stand his ground in a fight. We are to be adamant in our stand against evil, yet in a manner that reflects the Lord Himself, the Prince of Peace. (See 2 Corinthians 10:3-5). Our feet need to ready to "stand our ground" wherever we go to share the GOOD NEWS of God's Love displayed in Jesus Christ.

isnt it part of the Armor of God ?
is the word gospel translated as "good news" or Godspell?
is Peace the pharmecutical drug that people cast with their hands like dust upon a possessed person? like potion from one of Gods' Spells?
or is the declaration of Peace coming from the lips of people and minister to preach the word of God. ?
NO matter what answer you define this phrase with there are those that agree with the other.

the gospel of peace is the only real gospel there is and it is: that Christ died for our sins, was buried and raised again.
now if God raised Christ who took on the sin of the whole world, that would make Christ the most sinful person in the world, and if God raised that sinner, you can be sure that he will raise you and me, who are completely sinless since it was all laid on Christ, thereby this message is the good news that God is at peace with us.
