Peace
In the Bible, the concept of peace is multifaceted, encompassing both relational harmony and spiritual well-being. The Hebrew word for peace, "shalom," signifies more than just the absence of conflict; it embodies completeness, wholeness, and a state of flourishing (Strong's H7965). Shalom is often used to describe the ideal state of existence that God intended for humanity and creation, as seen in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:25). In the New Testament, the Greek word "eirene" carries a similar connotation, signifying both peace between individuals and peace with God, particularly through the work of Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1).Biblically, peace is also associated with justice and righteousness. For instance, Isaiah 32:17 states, "The work of righteousness will be peace," indicating that true peace arises from a just and righteous society. Furthermore, Jesus is referred to as the "Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6), emphasizing His role in restoring peace between God and humanity through His sacrifice (Ephesians 2:14-16). Ultimately, biblical peace transcends mere tranquility; it is a profound sense of well-being and harmony that comes from a right relationship with God, oneself, and others, as exemplified in Philippians 4:7, which speaks of "the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding."
