Discussion: Nov. 17: Ano Ang Kahulugan Ng Yahweh Shalom?- Yahweh - Names of God Series - Judges

365 Daily Devotions: Seminary Edition


💁🏻 Concept: Yahweh Shalom
The name Yahweh Shalom (Judges 6:24) means “The Lord is Peace.” Gideon built an altar with this name after God assured him of His presence and peace in the midst of fear and conflict. Biblically, peace is not just the absence of war but the fullness of wholeness, reconciliation, and blessing that only God can provide. Yahweh Shalom points to Christ, who Himself is our peace (Ephesians 2:14), reconciling us to God through the cross. This peace is both present in the believer’s life now and perfected in the eternal kingdom where strife and sorrow cease.
