'Blessed are the peacemakers..'

[quietbloke]

'Blessed are the peace makers,for they shall be called sons of God' (Matthew 5:9) We are all called to be peacemakers,not only in the church,but also the community. We are to actively follow after peace. We are to follow peace with all mankind. Jesus made peace by the Blood of the cross. In what ways can we be peacemakers and called sons of God?

Amen to that, but our primary and initial peace is made with God when we turn from sin...permanently.

And He makes us a peacemaker through our Christian journey as sons of God!

This is one of those that is good, but quite open to generalization. Some might be tempted to view it as a back door to salvation. But, as we know, nothing can be performed without God's blessing of the enabling Spirit's work and seal. So, that inscription serves up heavily at first, but a truckload of 'fruit' later.

 

[Anthony2019]

I believe there is always a great blessing in making peace with all people.
Whenever we get into conflicts, whenever we have arguments and disputes, our anger and pride set in and it takes away our peace. Holding a resentment and a grudge is like falling on our own sword - ultimately it causes us more damage than it does to the other person.
There is one person who, when I was a young child, severely abused me and made my life a living hell. It is thanks to God's love and grace, that I have been healed of all anger and bitterness. He has rightly served the sentence for his crime. If I ever met him in the street, I would reach out to him by the hand and tell him he is forgiven.
We may not always agree with the actions of others. We may even feel angry and hurt by them - and feel perfectly justified. But when we acknowledge our own wrongs, and are willing to forgive others and, as far as practicable, extend the hand of friendship to them, then we will experience blessing.

Amen! The way to blessing is always forgiveness and forgiving others!

May the peacemakers be truly happy today and always!

"Peacemakers"? Wait a minute, you mean to tell me I can even pray that there be peace?

Thank God! I was rattled there for a minute* God bless her, and all who are troubled in these times!

Yes thank God we can pray for peace and peacemakers!

We become Peacemakers because we have peace with God and the peace of God dwells in us through Christ. The world cannot give that peace,it comes only from God because we are the children of God. Sons and daughters of the Living God,spreading peace wherever we go!

 

[quietbloke]

A 'peacemaker' is the born again child of the Prince of Peace!'

 

[quietbloke]

The 'born again' peace maker,who trusts in Christ and receives His peace in their heart is truely a child of God and will share that peace with others!

 

[quietbloke]

Peacemakers are good people to be with! They are blessed people!
