The Covenant of Peace

Commentators explain that the 'covenant of peace' is not a mere political treaty but the new covenant of grace established by God through Christ. John Gill notes this covenant was made with Christ from eternity to bring reconciliation. It is a promise made specifically to the rescued flock—the lost, sick, and broken—assuring them of God's restorative peace.
