Shalom

Shalom

Hebrew word translated 'peace' but meaning far more — complete wholeness, flourishing, harmony, and well-being in every dimension of life; the deepest form of God's blessing

lightbulbWay bigger than 'peace' — it's everything working the way it's supposed to. The way it was meant to be

Definition

Far more than 'peace' — shalom means wholeness, completeness, flourishing, and right relationship with God and others. It's the way things are supposed to be. When prophets envision the future kingdom, they describe shalom — total restoration of everything sin broke.
