Let the peace of Christ (the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him) be the controlling factor in your hearts (deciding and settling questions that arise). Colossians 3:15 (AMP)
What is peace? Peace is described here as “the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him.” I continued to search the Scriptures to unearth the deeper meaning of “peace”, or eirene as it is in the original Greek.
Luke 8:48 records the beautiful words of Jesus:
He said to her, “Daughter, your faith (your personal trust and confidence in Me) has made you well. Go in peace (untroubled, undisturbed well-being)”. Luke 8:48 (AMP)
Peace is “untroubled, undisturbed well-being”.
Peter phrases it beautifully:
May grace (God’s favour) and peace (which is perfect well-being, all necessary good, all spiritual prosperity, and freedom from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts) be multiplied to you in (the full, personal, precise, and correct) knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 2 Peter 1:2 (AMP)
Peace is “perfect well-being, all necessary good, all spiritual prosperity, and freedom from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts.”
In John 14 Jesus tenderly said:
“Peace I leave with you; My (perfect) peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid (Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.)” John 14:27 (AMP)
Today may we allow His perfect peace to calm us in every circumstance and give us courage and strength for every challenge. May we know the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him. May we experience perfect well-being, all necessary good, all spiritual prosperity, and freedom from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts. As Jesus said, “Go in peace. Go in untroubled, undisturbed well-being.
