Blessed are the Peacemakers
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In his discussion of the Beatitudes, Steve Gregg highlights the importance of being a peacemaker. According to Gregg, peacemaking is a God-like trait that involves promoting peace even with our enemies. This approach requires reconciling broken relationships due to sin, forgiving others, and seeking reconciliation even in cases of big offenses. Ultimately, peacemaking involves a holistic approach that goes beyond personal interactions and seeks to promote wellbeing and harmony within communities and beyond.
