Question..⏬ There is so much on the news about warfare and weapons of war. In my study of world wars and civil wars, it is hard to imagine anything worse and I’ve decided it will never change—peace is not possible. Answer..⏬ From the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham The greatest warfare going on in the world today is between mankind and God. Until people surrender to Jesus Christ, God considers man at war with Him. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Peace is possible. How? To have peace with God, one must repent of sin against Him and walk a new direction.

Note..–please read this blog tell the end.! May the Today Bible verses help you build a spiritual relationship with God. You read this verse and understand what God is telling you and what God wants from you. Used as a greeting in Hebrew, this is a common one. Upon meeting someone, you’d say “Shalom” and they’d respond with the same. Many Hebrew speakers also say, “Shalom Aleichem” (peace be with you) instead. On the Sabbath, we wish each other “Shabbat shalom” (Peaceful Sabbath). . Not just peace The word shalom is often translated simply as peace. While this is in part what shalom means, it doesn’t fully convey its meaning. The concept of shalom goes deeper than that and brings us to realize the perfection in our holy God! Shalom is a noun with many meanings. Completeness, soundness, and welfare are included in its definition, along with harmony, prosperity, and tranquility. We’re left without an English word to convey all of these but a search through the bible fo
