 Scripture
Study for the week of April 24th, 2006
“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” (Matthew 5:9). God our Father made peace between himself and his children through the work of the Lord Jesus Christ (Col 1:20). Joyful are those who being like God author peace. This blessing is . . .
- A fruit of the Spirit, Gal 5:22
- To be pursued with great ardor, Ro 12:18.
- The wise sowing of the fruit of righteousness, Ja 3:16-18.
- An evidence of being in the kingdom, Ro 14:17.
Peace-makers are happy. They love, pursue, and delight in peace. They keep the peace that it be not broken, and restore it when it is broken. If peace-makers are blessed, what is to be said of peace-breakers?
