When we look at our lives and our hearts we don't often see peace. But peace doesn't come from within ourselves, it comes from what Jesus has done for you. Jesus' wounds are reminders that he paid for your wrongdoing and now you can have peace with God.
Jesus died to pay the punishment for your sins. And we can trust this because the Biblical authors reported everything just the way they witnessed it.
