In Matthew 5:9, Jesus says, “Blessed are the peacemakers.” What does He say they will be called?

Correct Answer

B) The children of God

In Matthew 5:9, Jesus says, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” This verse is part of the Beatitudes, where Jesus describes the attitudes and actions that reflect a life aligned with God's kingdom. Being a peacemaker is not just about avoiding conflict—it’s about actively seeking reconciliation, showing kindness, and reflecting God's love in our relationships. True peace begins when we pursue it, just as Psalm 34:14 encourages us to do. When we choose peace, we reflect the heart of our Heavenly Father!
