If you were to read from the majority of the Old Testament in its original language, you would encounter the word shalom 302 times. It is the Hebrew word for Peace.  Our New Testament was originally written in Greek and a different word was used, the word eirene. Both of these indicate tranquility, wholeness, no worries. The also describe a harmonious relationship between God and man, between man and man.

Having peace with God, peace within, and peace with others are essential if we are to know true peace in our own lives.
