Ephesians 2:14 - For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
The middle wall of partition was a wall that separated the court of the Gentiles from the rest of the temple. Any Gentile that went beyond that partition was subject to the death sentence! In Christ? No longer. He broke down this wall making the two peoples one. Bringing both parties into peace with God. Christ is our peace! That is the point.
Peace with God means that we are no longer at war with him, no longer subject to his wrath, no longer in danger perdition. Christ has changed all of this in his body at the cross.
