What is Peace?
A state of tranquility or wholeness; shalom (Hebrew word meaning peace, harmony, wholeness, completeness, prosperity, welfare and tranquility and can be used idiomatically to mean both hello and goodbye.)
Harmonious relations and freedom from disputes, especially during the absence of war.
A pervasive concept in the Bible that most commonly relates to a relationship of love and loyalty with God and one another.
”sin caused us to lose our peace”
We are constantly fighting things that are trying to take our peace, wether it is
a relationship
a job
a person
a circumstance
a situation
yourself
we are constantly at war…
Ephesians 6:12 (NASB95)
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places
“Jesus restores our peace”
“His peace, the kind that He left with us, isn’t the absence of fighting but the ability to be full of hope and confident in Christ despite the war.”
Luke 2:13–14 (NAS)
And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.”
