Read these terms together
These neighboring terms keep this definition anchored in the wider biblical picture.
Peace begins with God
Scripture does not present peace as denial or mood management. Peace starts with God's saving work and his promise to make what is broken whole.
That keeps peace tied to grace, righteousness, and reconciliation.
Peace does not ignore truth
The Bible's peace is not cheap quiet. Reconciliation requires truth, repentance, forgiveness, and wise repair.
Read peace passages beside confession, justice, mercy, and holiness so the theme stays honest.
