Restoring Relationshipsਨਮੂਨਾ

Day 28: Understanding Peace in the Bible

Devotional

Biblical peace—shalom in Hebrew and eirene in Greek—is more than the absence of conflict; it's about wholeness, restoration, and right relationships. God's peace meets physical needs, heals relationships, and fosters righteous living. Justice in Scripture is not merely legal—it’s relational and transformative. As followers of Christ, we're called to pursue peace actively: caring for the poor, loving enemies, and making restitution. This peace mirrors God’s heart and calls us into holy, restorative action in our homes, churches, and communities.

Reflection Question:
Where in your life or relationships can you actively pursue God’s vision of peace and restoration?

Prayer:
Lord, help me go beyond avoiding conflict. Teach me to pursue peace with a heart aligned to Yours—restoring what is broken and living in a way that reflects Your justice and grace. Amen.
