Those things, which you have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
All Commentaries on Philippians 4:9 Go To Philippians 4
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
Our God is truly “the God of peace.” We are constantly called to peace by God who himself is peace. His calling is not in timidity or weakness or in some show of strength. God is at peace with himself to such a degree that he even allows sins to be committed against him when he could certainly, by the terror of his manifested power and ineffable greatness, force even the unwilling into subjection. But peace of this kind is that of the world, not that of God, whose very nature is peace.
