Conclusion. Now if Christians
are peacemakers, then the opposite must also be true. Those who are always angry and those who create disunity
and conflict must not be sons of God. Do you have the attitude of an “eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth”?
Do you hate an enemy or take others to court? Do you keep a record of wrongs done to you? Is Romans 12:17-18
true of you,
Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. (NASB) Romans 12:17-18 Are you a son of God? If you are, peace will not always be possible because people will sometimes hate us
because we speak God’s truth and desire to be holy like God (2 Timothy 3:12). The ultimate test that you are
a son of God, a real peacemaker, is when you seek to make peace between men and women and God,
And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. (NASB) James 3:18 The sons of God sow the message of peace to others. Jesus came to bring us spiritual peace. The test that
you are a son of God is that you seek peace with other people and you desire to bring them to peace with God.
A true son of God wants others to find peace with God through Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace. Free at last.
Peace at last.
