The Eight Beatitudes
Blessed Are the Peacemakers
They Shall Be Called the Children of God
Description
Peacemakers actively work to establish peace—reconciling enemies, resolving conflicts, and promoting harmony. They reflect the God of peace who reconciled rebellious sinners to Himself through Christ. Peacemaking requires courage, wisdom, and sacrifice; it proves far more demanding than mere peacekeeping. Those who make peace demonstrate their divine parentage, for they share their Father's character and continue His reconciling work in the world.
Key Verses
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
