Ben Sira says not only do you get perfect health but you also get perfect peace if you fear God. Thoughts?

I don't think so at all god is not for fear God is for love.. have fear for doing bad work if you do bad work then you fear God even human also but if you always do good God always with you and protects you... God is for love only.

Peace yes, health... mental health maybe. But physical.

For better health, peace would have to be at the center first. Peace shows trust. Trust shows faith. Faith is the fruit of having a tight knit relationship with God because we have believed Him and his commandments. We have believed to not be anxious for anything because He reigns on that heavenly throne. We have believed that despite the tough situation we go through in life, God will be there. We know that when we are being refined is because he causing growth in us, taking out "the impurities" only for His Spirit to shine bright in our hearts. God never said the Christian life would be unicorn and rainbows. He said to take up our cross and follow Him just like he took His cross and obeyed the Father. And in that sacrifice and spilling of his blood is where we find our peace. Knowing God loved us that much to give up his son for our sins, shows how important we are to Him. If He can die and rise on the 3rd day defying death, doing the impossible, why would we not have peace?❤️

To digress, when our body experiences peace, we are in a relaxed state. Therefore the body can perform the processes needed to achieve homeostasis. In so doing our body rehabilitates and the result is healing.

Why would I be at peace if I fear something?

[purplepoppy]

Fear never leads to peace.

[masterSir]

the better translation is "Respect" God. not fear like we know fear.

[purplepoppy]

Both words have different origins and can't be confused in translation
