Wholeness
The state of complete health, integration, and flourishing that God intends for his people. The Hebrew word shalom encompasses wholeness — not merely absence of conflict but fullness of well-being. Jeremiah 29:11 promises, 'Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' Jesus healed the whole person — body, mind, and spirit (Mark 5:34, 'Go in peace and be freed from your suffering'). Third John 1:2 expresses the wish that believers 'may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.' Colossians 2:10 declares, 'In Christ you have been brought to fullness.' Wholeness is both a present reality and a future hope.
