What does the Bible say about peace and prosperity?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible speaks of true peace and prosperity as being found in reconciliation with God through Christ, rather than worldly comforts.

Scripture teaches that true peace and prosperity are not derived from the absence of conflict but from a right relationship with God. In Psalm 122, the assurance of peace is linked to God’s presence among His people, promising that those who trust in Him shall be like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken. This is a spiritual peace that transcends earthly troubles and is grounded in Christ’s finished work, where all of God's judgment against sin has been satisfied. True prosperity, as mentioned in biblical context, is not about material wealth but the deep-rooted assurance and joy that come from knowing God’s grace has been extended to sinful humanity through Jesus Christ.
