Om avsnittet
What does "Blessed are the peacemakers" mean in Matthew 5:9 (KJV)? Making peace doesn't make you a child of God. It shows that you already are one, and nobody makes peace without having peace.
Sermon on the Mount Pt 3, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.
One verse this week. Peace (eirene) is "the tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ," and "peacemaker" appears in the Bible only here. Then the passages: "go in peace" (Mark 5:34), your peace coming upon a worthy house (Matthew 10:5-14), "live peaceably with all men" (Romans 12:18), and "follow peace with all men, and holiness" (Hebrews 12:14).
It is always "grace and peace," in that order, because peace is the result of grace (2 Peter 1:2). David wrote "I will bless the LORD at all times" while running for his life before Achish (Psalm 34; 1 Samuel 21:10-15), and the same psalm says "seek peace, and pursue it." But Jesus also said, "I came not to send peace, but a sword" (Matthew 10:34). The children of God are made manifest by love (1 John 3:10-11; John 13:35) and by being led by the Spirit (Romans 8:14).
