God Is Peace

In 1 Thessalonians 5:23 we read that the God of peace Himself takes care of us. We have learned that the word “peace” means wholeness and soundness and brokenness healed. Peace is not just the absence of strife. It is so much bigger than that. It is God Himself making us complete in Him Who is the head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:10). That word “complete” means: filled, full, finished, having no deficiency or lack, something put in to fill up.

Jesus was put in us by the power of the Holy Spirit to fill us up with all the good things from heaven that are found in Him. We are filled up with Jesus. Therefore, we are filled up with health; we are filled up with wealth; we are filled up with love and joy and peace and all the fruit of the spirit; we are filled up with all that heaven has to offer. That makes us whole and sound and unbroken. Jesus was broken that we might be whole.

And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to God], and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) (1 Thessalonians 5:23, Amplified Bible)..

THE GOD OF PEACE DWELLS IN YOU!
