God Quote-Blessed are the Peacemakers

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the LORD says in Matthew 5:9.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”

Jesus is the ultimate peacemaker who came to bring us peace with God. As we follow Jesus and find peace in His grace, here are some ways that the influence of Jesus turns us into peacemakers.

Number One-Living at Peace with others: Romans 12:18 says, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”

Number Two-Being an Influence for Peace in Conflict-Paul the Apostle appealed to two women in the faith to settle their disagreement.

Number Three-Reconciliation with God. Second Corinthians 5:20 describes followers of Jesus as His ambassadors. We have a message to share with the world on Christ’s behalf-Be reconciled to God.

Matthew 5:9-That’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for Life.
