God's Power for Peace
Commentators explain that calling God "the God of peace" means He is the source of all well-being and reconciliation, not just the absence of strife. The ultimate proof of His peace-giving power is the resurrection of Jesus. This act demonstrates that God can overcome any obstacle, even death, to bring wholeness and security to His people.
