Peace
in Greek: Eirene
1. the harmonized relationships between God and man, accomplished through the gospel.
let me break this down for you.
the definition of harmonized is: to be in agreement in action, sense, or feeling.
the definition of harmony is: agreement; accord.
so now we have "the agreement|accordance of the relationships between God and man"
another word for relationship is dependence.
in order to have a "harmonized relationship" we must be depending solely on God for guidance in our everyday walk.
[notice the definition says "accomplished through the gospel."
so, get in his word daily and stay in it!]
Therefore, we can conclude that Peace is Gods way of telling us we are living according to his will.
I've also heard it said "Peace is the merging of our reality with Christs reality"
Need confirmation?
Peace in Hebrew: Shalom
1. indicative of a prosperous relationship between two or more parties.
[a relationship cannot be prosperous without both sides being in agreement]
2. a harmonious state of the soul and mind
["the agreement of the soul and mind" - living in the spirit, not of the flesh.]
is what you're doing right now according to what God wants you to do?
is it in his will?
peace is experienced both externally and internally.
if you dont have a total peace about something, dont do it.
more than likely it is not in accordance to what God wants for you.
