About 700 years before the birth of Jesus, the prophet Isaiah prophesied:
Because a Child was born to us, a Son was given to us.
And the government will be on His shoulder.
And His name will be: Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
His rule and peace will continually increase upon David's throne and upon his kingdom, to establish and uphold it, by justice and by righteousness, from now and forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
Isaiah 9:6-7
Jesus is the Prince of Peace
Jesus was born to reconcile us to God, bearing God's wrath and God's punishment for our sins in our place.
Because the Father was pleased to instill in Him the perfect fullness and through Him to reconcile everything to Himself - both earthly and heavenly, by making peace through Him with the blood shed on His cross. And you, who were once removed and by disposition enemies in your evil deeds, reconciled now through His death in His fleshly body, to present you before Himself holy, blameless and blameless.
The Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Colossians 1:19-22
And so, justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Romans 5:1
All things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through [Jesus] Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God in Christ was reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to men, and that entrust us with the message of reconciliation.
And so we are ambassadors from Christ's side, as if God is begging through us: we beg you from Christ's side, be reconciled to God.
The Second Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians 5:18-20
And may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely and may your spirit, soul and body be preserved intact without vice until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The First Epistle of the Apostle Paul to Timothy 2:4-6

"You will become free".

For what God declares is that He testified of His Son.

And the testimony is that God has given us eternal life and that this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath this life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have this life.
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life [and believe in the name of the Son of God].

Yea, and the bread which I will give is My flesh [which I will give] for the life of the world...
As the living Father sent Me, and I live through the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live through Me.

My sheep hear My voice and I know them and they follow Me.
