Biblical Insight

In the Bible, “Shalom” is much deeper than simply the absence of conflict. It describes a state of fullness, restoration, safety, and spiritual peace with God and others.

Example verse:

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
they shall prosper that love thee.” — Psalm 122:6

The Hebrew word translated as “peace” in this verse is Shalom (שָׁלוֹם).
