There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.
(Isaiah 48:22)Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
(Matthew 5:9) God blesses those who seek his peace
Rebellion is a state of nonconformity that can be for better or for worse. Man is an enemy of God due to his evil works, but Christ sought peace through his blood shed on the cross, making him our peace. The peace of God is found in Jesus and encompasses the mind, emotions, and heart. The Hebrew term for peace is SHALOM, meaning prosperity, health, security, wholeness, harmony, and salvation. The wicked cannot experience the peace of God, so it is important to present the gospel of peace to them. Satan promotes strife among nations due to men's rebellion and wickedness, but as Christians, we can be proactive in spiritual warfare and peacemakers by preaching the Word and proclaiming the Good News of salvation through Jesus.
