Peace, A sense of wholeness or well being
Appearances,
- 1 Samuel 7:14
-this could be interpreted as international
-but look at the wording "restored" and "delivered"
-we see a sense of "revival"
- Romans 14:19
-again just another verse that seems simple at first glance
-but it says "edification"
-meaning "the moral or intellectual instruction or improvement of someone
-we see a sense of "revival" again
-Luke 8:48
-"Your faith has made you free. Go in peace"
-peace can be translated to be "a sense of wholeness"
- looking at it this way "Your faith has made you free. Go in wholeness"
-again, a sense of "revival"
-1 Thessalonians 5:3
-this is a false sense of peace, what the world sees as peace.
-the world will never achieve peace, b/c peace is only found through Christ
-peace is the wholeness of living in a broken world, but looking it in the face and smiling
-peace is revival, to re-live
-Romans 5:1
-we have been justified, that is to accept the forgiveness
-once that is fully true, we then have a sense of wholeness in Christ
-a sense of revival
-Philippians 4:7
-it gives us a clear view, if it is there we see clearly through the fog of sin and our own decisions
-John 14:27
-"I do not give as the world gives"
-why is that said?
-yes the world sees peace as "freedom" but it is an unachievable freedom
-man is sinful, thus everything he does without the name of God is not peaceful
-b/c we are slaves to this world, thus not free, but Christ will break our chains
-this leads to true Peace
Galatians 5:22-23
-"the fruit" not fruits
-if peace is there, so are all the others, if they are not, then it is not God sent peace, and thus not peace at all
Isaiah 9:7
-"of the increase of his...peace there will be no end"
-no explanation needed
Haggai 2:9
-REVIVAL!
Isaiah 59:8
-the world does not know true Peace
-b/c they do not know Christ, so it is not achievable
Isaiah 53:5
-Peace can only come from the cross, for that is where it all began
-Collisions 1:20
Romans 5:1
-Justification (revival)
Isaiah 26:3
-continuing to seek Him (steadfast) and trust, become open to Him 100%
2 Peter 1:2
-growing in Him, in knowledge of Him brings peace, if it is applied
2 Corinthians 13:11
-being on body in Christ
-seeking Him
2 Timothy 2:22
- seek peace in everything, if there is no peace then that is not His guiding
-once you have experienced His peace you will know if it is not there
Peace in the Bible is one very different then that of the world. Worldly peace means a freedom with no sadness, no pain, no understanding, but in a way innocents. Biblical and Godly peace is that of understanding and maturity, it shows growth, and most of all it shows a revival of a spiritual awaking to Gods truth and calling. So in the Hebrew "Sholom Al com" or "Peace be with you"
