Peace: The Result of Justification
Commentators emphasize the word "Therefore," showing that peace with God is the logical and immediate result of being justified by faith. It's not something to strive for separately; it's the direct consequence of accepting Christ's righteousness. As Albert Barnes explains, the plan of salvation reconciles the sinner to God, creating this peace.
