The Depth of "Perfect Peace"

Commentators emphasize that the original Hebrew repeats the word for peace, as in "peace, peace." This repetition signifies a perfect, complete, and multi-faceted peace. It's not merely an absence of conflict but a deep, abiding security that includes peace with God, peace of conscience, and steadfastness through all of life's trials.
