Peter himself was writing with such confidence in God and rejoicing in his salvation even as he faced his own martyrdom that was soon to come. With that assurance Peter could close his letter with a reminder of the peace of God that is given to those who have peace with God. A peace that is supernatural, beyond comprehension, and settles the soul through every storm of life.
