- we all urgently need God's peace (healing and restoration) for spiritual and physical wholeness and for reconciliation with Him and others.
- we can receive God's grace and peace only through faith (belief and trust) in Jesus Christ, who alone can rescue us from the penalty of our sins and the brokenness of our lives.
