Epi 23-Living as Sons of God: The Cost and Reward of Peacemaking

This episode of Living the Selah Life focuses on the seventh Beatitude in Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” It is more than a call to remain calm. It is a call to step into the work of reconciliation in a divided world.Kim draws a clear line between peacekeeping and peacemaking. Keeping peace avoids conflict. Making peace requires courage, wisdom, and intentional action. It means having hard conversations and seeking real healing rather than settling for surface harmony. This calling reflects the heart of God Himself.Building on the earlier Beatitudes, Kim explains that peacemaking flows from a pure heart. When motives are sincere and not driven by pride or the need to win, reconciliation becomes possible. Real peace addresses what is beneath the surface and works toward restoration.Listeners are invited to reflect on their own relationships and consider where God may be calling them to pursue peace. The promise that peacemakers will be called sons of God serves as both identity and encouragement to live this out with humility and bold faith.
