What does Shalom mean in a Christian context?

Answered in 1 source

In a Christian context, Shalom signifies peace, wholeness, and the complete fulfillment found in Christ.

The term Shalom, often used in the Old Testament, carries a rich meaning that encompasses peace, completeness, welfare, and tranquility. In the narrative of Jacob, the city of Shalom serves as a metaphor for the believer's journey towards restoration and fulfillment found in their relationship with God. True Shalom is only achievable through Christ, the Prince of Peace, who reconciles us to God and grants us peace in our hearts amidst a tumultuous world. Christians are called to embrace this Shalom, understanding that it reflects both a present reality and a future hope of eternal peace in Christ.
