In what way does “the peace of the Christ” control in a Christian’s heart?

Money and hatred more closely control the christian heart.

They pay little attention to their Christ.

If there's any peace controlling a Christian's heart the fundies are sure doing a good job of hiding it.

“strueimage”, here are a few points that strengthen Christian believers:

(1.) Where the “peace of Christ” means the same certainty, confidence and security that was experienced by the Savior during his ministry upon the earth, there must be rebirth of the believer through operations of GOD described as baptism, cleansing, and death. As new creatures (still in flesh and mortal, yet, containing added and fresh endowments of divine substance), believers are free from the human predicament that results by the operation of sin. Included are released from conflict between and among such features as doubts, fantasy, knowledge, imagination, instinct and intuition as well as lack of clarity and inconsistency for desire, goals, hopes, and needs.

(2.) In the world, today, many are emotionally and psychologically destroyed by continually seeing the differences between what things are, what things were, and what things can and should be. By the peace of Christ, believers are made free of the frustration that comes from lacking all the necessary skill to put into practice and implement every aspect of good. It remains that sin cannot be eliminated by the operations of human intellect, logic, reason, and science. Through inseparable spirit content from Christ (such as faith, forbearance, forgiveness, gratitude, holiness, joy, love, wisdom, wrath against sin) ones awareness and nature are being perfected and transformed. Bitterness, distrust and resentment are removed; and there is reconciliation to GOD, and to divine law. Because they correctly comprehend multiple divine operations and sacred purposes that demonstrate the justice and righteousness of GOD, believers embrace acceptance of their dependence, and have no quarrel against restriction to finite limits.

There is far more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually understood. (For example, (3.) Peace that is an aspect of being and existence is more than simply inactivity, feeling, quiet, and stillness. Divine peace does not “control” or manipulate behavior and conduct; cannot be mandated or negotiated by councils of men; and does not fade, or go and return as an element in the framework of time and space. Like the knee or the elbow are parts of ones body always present as a feature of their movement and full person, peace from GOD through Christ is ever-present as believers interact with the Divine Person and with others, their peers in the earth.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith. Jesus is coming soon. Grow in grace.

Are you referring to Phillipians 4:7? This scripture says "and the peace of God that excels all thought will guard YOUR hearts and YOUR mental powers by means of Christ Jesus."

Just as a sentry guards his post, the peace of God guards our heart, so that materialistic philosophies, unnecessary anxieties, and ungodly values do not enter.

It doesn't. Christ is not a person. Never was until Paul came into the picture. Christ is a state of consciousness that Christians cannot achieve because they believe that Christ is a person rather than a state of awareness.

Without it, man is out of control, as we are stiffnecked people to begin with. We never learn that we were slaves, and God rescued our slaves/ancestors from the land of Egypt. So to speak, once a slave is a slave forever, I guess.

Christianity is not about control.

Not sure but it certainly doesn't help control their hate

it should direct that person and give hem comfort
