What does the Bible say about peace?

Answered in 32 sources

The Bible refers to God as the 'Lord of Peace,' emphasizing that true peace is found in Him and His attributes revealed through Jesus Christ.

The concept of peace in the Bible is deeply rooted in the character of God. In particular, 2 Thessalonians 3:16 acknowledges God as the 'Lord of Peace,' illustrating that true peace is more than mere absence of conflict; it is an attribute of God Himself. Throughout Scripture, peace is associated with God's nature, seen as gracious, merciful, and loving, yet also just and holy. This peace is exemplified through the work of Christ, who reconciles us to God and brings harmony to God's attributes by shedding His blood on the cross, thus satisfying divine justice while offering mercy to sinners.
