John 20:
19 Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace with you.”
20 When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.
21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”
22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
Jesus presents Himself to His disciples, and finds them in a state of fear and turmoil. He restores them with a breath, declaring, “Peace Unto You”. This is the beginning of the restoration of all things, spoken of by all of the prophets. Recalling that the Lord had already given them His Peace. This is also why the Lord refers to the Holy Spirit as “The Comforter”.
John 14:
25 These things I have spoken to you while being present with you.
26 But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
The Holy Spirit is also our Counselor, because He is The Remembrancer, an ever present help Who instructs us in every instance, maintaining that Peace of Christ. When He presides over our Fellowship, His presence becomes The Anointing spoken of by the Apostle John in his first epistle.
1 John 1:
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
21 I have not written to you because you do not know the Truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the Truth.
...
24 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.
...
27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
John 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
It is in this Peace of God manifested among us that certifies that “the Kingdom of God is upon you”. The second is Joy. This work of the Holy Spirit is the Righteousness of God in Christ.
Romans 14:
16 Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil;
17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
19 Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another.
1 John 2:
28 And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.
The practice of righteousness is in the Fellowship of the Saints under The Anointing of the Holy Spirit.
1 John 1:
3 That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
4 And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.
Abiding in the Kingdom of Righteousness, Peace and Joy establishes us in hope.
Romans 15:13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
