Matt 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God. Heb 12:14 Pursue peace with all men and sanctification, without which no one will see the Lord. Rom 15:33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
[Part 1 of 2] Satan, the rebellious one, is the instigator of all rebellion. For the kingdom of the heavens, under its heavenly ruling, we must be peacemakers with all men. In all of the first seven blessings we see that we should not be fighters or troublemakers; rather, we must be peacemakers, always making peace with others. If we are peacemakers, we shall be called the sons of God. The sons of the Devil make trouble, but the sons of God make peace. As the Son of God, the Lord Jesus made peace with God and man. Now, as the sons of God, we must follow Him to make peace. Then we shall be called the sons of God. Our Father is the God of peace, who has a peaceful life with a peaceful nature. As those born of Him, if we would be the peacemakers, we must behave in His divine life, according to His divine nature. Thus, we shall express His life and nature, and we shall be called sons of God. [continued tomorrow]
