More than the absence of conflict — the Hebrew concept of shalom, wholeness and flourishing
The biblical concept of peace (Hebrew: shalom) means complete wholeness — right relationships with God, others, and creation. Jesus said 'Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you' (John 14:27). Paul calls God 'the God of peace' and lists peace as a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22).
