Biblically, "peace" often refers to more than just the absence of conflict; it encompasses a sense of wholeness and well-being. In the Hebrew context, this is akin to "shalom," which signifies completeness and harmony with God, others, and oneself. The "way of peace" suggests a path or lifestyle that leads to this holistic peace. In the broader biblical narrative, peace is a key theme, with Jesus Christ being referred to as the "Prince of Peace" (<a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6</a>). The absence of peace here indicates a life lived apart from God's intended order and blessing.<p><b>they have not known.</b><br>This part of the verse underscores ignorance or rejection of God's path to peace. The use of "known" implies more than intellectual understanding; it suggests experiential knowledge. In biblical terms, to "know" something often means to have a deep, personal, and relational understanding. The unrighteous have not experienced or embraced the peace that comes from a relationship with God. This ignorance is not merely accidental but is often willful, as seen in the broader context of <a href="/romans/1.htm">Romans 1-3</a>, where humanity's rejection of God leads to a lack of peace. This connects to the prophetic warnings in the Old Testament, such as in <a href="/isaiah/59-8.htm">Isaiah 59:8</a>, which Paul is likely referencing, where the absence of peace is a result of turning away from God's ways.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/paul_the_apostle.htm">Paul the Apostle</a></b><br>The author of the Book of Romans, Paul was a key figure in the early Christian church, known for his missionary journeys and theological writings. Romans is one of his epistles, written to the believers in Rome to explain the core tenets of the Christian faith.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_church_in_rome.htm">The Church in Rome</a></b><br>The recipients of the letter, the Roman Christians were a diverse group of Jewish and Gentile believers living in the heart of the Roman Empire. Paul wrote to them to address theological issues and to unify them in their faith.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_law.htm">The Law</a></b><br>In Romans, Paul often refers to the Mosaic Law, which was given to the Israelites. He discusses its purpose and limitations in bringing about righteousness.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_the_absence_of_peace.htm">Understanding the Absence of Peace</a></b><br><a href="/romans/3-17.htm">Romans 3:17</a> states, "and the way of peace they have not known." This highlights the reality that those who live in sin are estranged from true peace. True peace is not merely the absence of conflict but the presence of righteousness and harmony with God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_sin_in_disrupting_peace.htm">The Role of Sin in Disrupting Peace</a></b><br>Sin inherently disrupts peace, both internally and externally. It creates a barrier between individuals and God, leading to unrest and turmoil. Recognizing this can help believers understand the importance of repentance and seeking God's peace.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/christ_as_the_source_of_peace.htm">Christ as the Source of Peace</a></b><br>While the world may offer temporary solutions, true and lasting peace is found only in Jesus Christ. Believers are called to seek Him and His righteousness to experience the peace that surpasses all understanding.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/l/living_as_peacemakers.htm">Living as Peacemakers</a></b><br>As followers of Christ, we are called to be peacemakers, reflecting the peace we have received from God in our relationships with others.
