The God of Peace - C. H. Spurgeon

CHAPTER 1
First of all, the title. Mars, among the heathens, was called the god of war. Janus was worshipped in periods of strife and bloodshed. But our God, Jehovah, styles Himself not the God of war, but the God of Peace. Although He permits war in this world sometimes for necessary and useful purposes.
Although He superintends them and has even styled Himself the Lord, Mighty in Battle, yet His holy mind abhors bloodshed and strife. His gracious Spirit loves not to see men slaughtering one another. He is emphatically, solely, entirely and without reserve, the God of Peace.
Peace is His delight Peace on earth and goodwill towards men.
Peace in Heaven (for that purpose He expelled the angels) peace throughout His entire universe is His highest wish and His greatest delight!
If you consider God in the Trinity of His Persons for a few moments, you will see that in each Father, Son and Holy Spirit the title is apt and correct the God of Peace.
There is God, the Everlasting Father. He is the God of Peace, for He, from all eternity, planned the great Covenant of Peace whereby He might bring rebels near unto Him and make strangers and foreigners fellow-heirs with the saints and joint-heirs with His Son, Christ Jesus. He is the God of Peace, for He justifies and, thereby, implants peace in the soul. He accepted Christ and, as the God of Peace, He brought Him again from the dead.
And He ordained peace eternal peace with His children through the blood of the Everlasting Covenant. He is the God of Peace! So is Jesus Christ, the Second Person, the God of Peace for, He is our peace who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us.
He makes peace between God and man! His blood, sprinkled on the fiery wrath of God, turned it to love!
Or rather that which must have broken forth in wrath, though it was forever love, was allowed to display itself in loving kindness through the wondrous
