The Jews often greeted one another with the Hebrew word shalom which means peace. The Biblical definition for "peace" is much different than the world's definition of peace. This is harmony or a right relationship between God and man. Peace is a trait of God. He is characterized by peace and He grants peace to His people. Besides being at peace with God, the Christian should be at peace with all men. Romans 5:1 & 9; Romans 14:17-19

Peace comes from the Latin “pacisci,” which means “to agree.” We achieve a state of peace when we experience true harmony in our relationships. Peace is not a state of bland sameness. Peace requires that we each express our individuality to the fullest and learn to hold our own uniqueness within diverse relationships.
