Particularly, what is 'peace'? I see it from God, with God, of God in the verses below. Are those different variants of peace? I assume that a Christian would know when they are in a state of peace with God. Is this the peace that He gives us (of God)? Should we have this as Christians or do we have to strive for it constantly?
