Why does God say that He gives us peace differently than how the world gives it?
Because many of the people who are in the world (non-Christians) gain “peace” by doing things that are against God. Examples --> smoking, drinking.
So, the “peace” they gain does not last them enough, and they feel worse afterward.
But, the peace God gives is perfect and lasts forever.
