Peace for peacemakers.

Peace for the peacemakers 

Matthew  5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

The peacemakers have been reconciled to God. They have peace with Him through the cross.

Romans  5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Ephesians  2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;  2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;  2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

They now strive by their witness and by their lives to bring others, including their enemies to peace with God.

2 Corinthians  5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.  5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

In addition, because our hearts have been purified, we are able to live peaceably with others.

James  3:17 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.

Romans  12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Romans  14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.  14:18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.  14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

2 Corinthians  13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

Galatians  5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Philippians  2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,  2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.  2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

2 Timothy  2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.  2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.  2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

Hebrews  12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Matthew  5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Now that you have peace with God and you have been pulled out of hell, have compassion on others to your world of influence to be 

Jude  1:22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:  1:23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Let us pray.
