In the biblical context, peace (shalom in Hebrew) signifies completeness, welfare, and harmony. It is not merely the absence of conflict but the presence of God's order and blessing. This aligns with the Old Testament understanding of God as a peacemaker, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6</a>, where the Messiah is called the "Prince of Peace." In the New Testament, Jesus Christ embodies this peace, reconciling humanity to God (<a href="/ephesians/2-14.htm">Ephesians 2:14-18</a>). The peace of God surpasses all understanding and guards believers' hearts and minds (<a href="/philippians/4-7.htm">Philippians 4:7</a>).<p><b>be with all of you</b><br>Paul's benediction extends to all believers in Rome, indicating the inclusivity of the gospel message. The early church was a diverse community, comprising Jews and Gentiles, and this phrase underscores the unity that the gospel brings. The presence of God with His people is a recurring theme throughout Scripture, from God's promise to be with Israel (<a href="/exodus/33-14.htm">Exodus 33:14</a>) to Jesus' assurance of His presence with His disciples (<a href="/matthew/28-20.htm">Matthew 28:20</a>). This presence is a source of comfort, guidance, and strength for believers.<p><b>Amen</b><br>"Amen" is a Hebrew word meaning "truly" or "so be it," used to affirm the truthfulness of a statement. It is a common conclusion to prayers and doxologies in both the Old and New Testaments, signifying agreement and certainty. In the context of Romans, it reflects Paul's confidence in God's faithfulness to fulfill His promises.
