"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:1 KJV)
Man, by creation was God's favorite and delight. There was harmony between God and man in such a way that God usually fellowship with man in the cool of the evening. When sin came, man lost his place in God and he became an enemy of God.
Everyone born through natural conception are God's enemy because of the sinful nature inherent in man by birth.
However, to have peace with God, one thing is needful; you have to be justified by faith. To be justified means to be made righteous in the sight of God.
You can't be made righteous in God's sight by your works of righteousness, that is, being morally right, you are justified by your faith in Jesus Christ. Trying to live a life that pleases God without your faith in Jesus Christ doesn't earn you approval in God's sight.
Do you believe in Jesus? If yes, demons also believe and they tremble. But if your belief does not transform your life to make you justified by faith, you can't be at peace with God.
Taking care of the poor, widow, needy or living a life that's free from moral wrongs does not make you be at peace with God if you do not have faith in Jesus.
The greatest peace you can ever make is to be at peace with God. Jesus came to reconcile mankind to God but are you personally at peace with Him?
