God has made available to us ALL, his peace, but it is for us to accept it.
His peace is available to us through His Son Jesus Christ.
We may try very hard to have peace and might even be successful in obtaining it, but then it eventually eludes us with the next unexpected, disastrous, or undesirable event that occurs in our life.
As with all things that the world has to offer, the worlds peace is temporary.
The things of God are meant for eternity, and of these things is included His peace.
Yes, those unexpected, disastrous, or undesirable events yet may occur, but God's peace is available to His children who accept it.
John 14;27 says " Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you, not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
When we trust God, who has proven Himself faithful through the ages, we can trust his word, his promises to us who believe.
He has said that the way to ALL of his promises is through His Son Jesus.
John 14:6 "... I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
To become one of the children to whom God's promises are meant, you must first come through Jesus Christ.
You must accept Him as the Son of God, and all that He has done to reconcile you to the Father, through is death and resurrection.
If you can't accept this, then the everlasting promises of the Father are not available to you.
Therefore your only peace is that temporary state of being, which you might attain.
