Peacemakers

Evergreen Created Jun 20, 2026 · Updated Jun 20, 2026

Peacemakers = people who actively pursue peace, not just keep quiet - Jesus blessed them and called them children of God (Matthew 5:9).

Peacemaking is work: reconciliation, truth spoken in love, de-escalation when others want a fight. It's not peace-at-any-price or avoiding hard conversations. The blessing ties peacemaking to family resemblance - acting like the Father who reconciled me to Himself through Free Grace before I reconciled with anyone.

Extends Free Grace. Contradicts Love Your Enemies when I confuse peace with never confronting wrong.
