Blessed Are The Peacemakers

 

Matthew 5:9

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

    This verse is the only verse in the Bible which uses this term. It means 'One who bravely declares God's terms which makes someone whole'. 

    Therefore, a peacemaker is someone who declares The Truth of God's Word to a lost and dying world. Lost without knowledge, without wisdom, without understanding. Dying in sins which could have been forgiven and washed clean out of a person's heart, if they had only believed on The Name of The Lord Jesus Christ for their salvation. 

    A peacemaker counts the cost of sharing the Love of God with someone. That cost is a lost soul dying and never having another opportunity to hear how much God loves them. That cost is not allowing self-preservation to get in the way. That cost is speaking His Name into the mindset of someone who does not know His Name properly. 

    A peacemaker is brave, strong, and courageous. For The Holy Spirit of God dwells within them, leading and guiding through The Word: revealing God's nature, God's Names, and God's character to us. Not just to enrich our souls, but that we might be able to share this enrichment with others. 

    A peacemaker knows God's terms of salvation and holiness. 

GOD's TERMS of SALVATION

John 3:16-18>Believing that His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ is The Way 

Romans 10:9-13>Calling On Jesus' Name for our salvation

John 14:6>Believing that Jesus is The Way to The Father

Hebrews 10:19,20>Believing that Jesus Christ is The New And Living Way by His blood which He shed for us

1 John 5:11,12>Eternal Life is in God's Son

THE ROADMAP

       God is the ultimate Peacemaker. Ephesians 2:13-16 "But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. For He is our Peace, Who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us;  having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace,  that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity." 

    Colossians 1:19,20

For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross.

    God loves you. And He wants you to spend eternity with Him. Come to Jesus.
