The Nugget:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mat 5:9\u00a0 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (KJV)<\/p>\n

Mat 5:9\u00a0 Great blessings belong to those who work to bring peace. God will call them his sons and daughters. (ERV, Easy-to-Read Version)<\/p>\n

Mat 5:9\u00a0 God blesses those people who make peace. They will be called his children! (CEV, Contemporary English Version)<\/p>\n

My Comment:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have a genuine need for peacemakers today. There are all too many working in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n

I believe the best way to work toward lasting peace is to encourage more people to become followers of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).<\/p>\n

The way to do that is to encourage more people to become readers of the New Testament and the Bible as a whole.<\/p>\n

One of the very best books to start reading first and repeatedly is the Gospel of John. John states his purpose for writing his Gospel: “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name” (John 20:31). Another most important text in John’s Gospel is John 5:24, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”<\/p>\n

It is very important to reject all sources of supposed authority that place themselves above the Bible in an effort to control what you are allowed to believe what it means.<\/p>\n

You can understand the Bible. You can interpret the Bible. Your interpretation of the Bible will become more accurate as you gradually learn more of its content. The Bible is a self-interpreting, self-correcting Book. You might wonder, if this is the case, why are there so many different and even contradictory understandings about what the Bible teaches? Why are there so many different denominations? A very central answer to those problems is that too many are taught by others who have themselves not carefully studied the Bible.<\/p>\n

It is necessary not only to read the Bible continuously and repeatedly but also to study the Bible carefully.<\/p>\n

It absolutely is possible, given two interpretations of something in the Bible, to make a sound, reasoned judgment about which interpretation, if either, is better.<\/p>\n

Inference skills are sadly lacking among many readers. Inference skills are developed naturally by doing more reading. When it comes to Bible reading and Bible study, it is most important to make correct use of inference skills. For example, the word “Trinity” does not occur in the Bible. Yet the doctrine of the Trinity is taught in the Bible. It is discerned by necessary inference from what is stated in the Bible when you compare Scripture with Scripture.<\/p>\n
