With what tool do peacemakers sow peace?
-it starts with loving GOD, then sharing that love with all that you meet.
in diffrent ways,whatever thiers need or needs happen to be. including showing them thier way to salvation
Why does this produce a ripening crop of righteousness?
-once they see that someone cares for them, then they'll listen to you (this doesn't always happen with the 1st try. some take longer than others. don't give up!)
-once this person or people listen then they'll be the ripened crop. then they'll be spreading the seed of GOD to others.
In whom does this crop grow?
-yourself--those you've affected--those they've affected--etc.

Peace comes from heaven and the wisdom God gives His servants to sow in peace. This brings a harvest of righteousness--full of mercy, consideration, submission and good fruit. Why? Because it is full of the loving attributes listed in I Corinthians 13! When those around us see God's love shining through us, they are intrigued by what makes us different and want to know more about it. This gives the opportunity to tell them about our Lord Jesus and His love--that it is this that they are feeling, not of us but totally of Him!
Then these may come to Him, accept His love and learn of Him--by which they grow in knowledge and love of and in Him!

Love & humility... Words are then spoken out of the overflow of the heart . This produces what God desires for righteousness.
Positive things build up and negative things tear down. Love builds up . Love never fails..

Life Coaching for youth.<br />In Bible study I'm trying to see things from God's perspective as well as from ours. My questions are "What was going on between Father and Jesus when the world was being created, and then when He was here?" I'm also trying to develop as a writer, and clarify my thoughts on paper. I've just completed the Life Coaching qualification and want to focus on life skills for youth in order to win some for him. At my age this is probably a laugh, but then Sarah laughed, didn't she?<br /><br />I value being able to write and read the responses of others, because they offer a different perspective from mine.

Peacemakers sow peace with the tool of their tongue.
Peace is akin to God's rest. In Hebrews 4 God tells us to make sure that we enter into God's rest. Peace guides us. If we value our peace with God (alias rest) we will be the expression of His peace, which is His righteousness, since that is in accord with His spiritual laws.
If we work against the law of gravity and leap from a great height, the resultant crash will not be peaceful, restful, or God's will. As in the physical, so in the spiritual. If we work against God's peace, the resultant "crash" will not be the expression of His peace and righteousness If we do work within the frameword of God's peace (spiritual laws of rest), the result (crop) will be holy living or righteousness.
This crop is Jehovah Tsidkenu, God our righteousness. Yes, Jesus.

The seed of peace is sown in a spirit of humility and wisdom. Actually, when peace is sown love is also sown and when they take root, they produce peace, joy, gentleness, etc.
Righteousness in the sense of ‘whatever is right’ or ‘right action’ is actually those things of God-peace, joy, gentleness, and other fruits of the Spirit.
Also, those who have faith in God and are called His children trust in Christ and they become the righteousness of God in Christ. Thus righteousness ‘grows’ in the sense of them becoming more like Jesus, since they believe and have faith.
So, the crop of righteousness, be it ‘whatever is right’ or ‘righteousness in Christ’ grows and ripens in those who have faith and believe in God, those who are called the children of God.

If we meet today and you forget me, you have lost nothing. But if you meet Jesus Christ and forget Him, you have lost everything.
There is more joy in Jesus in 24 hours than there is in the world in 365 days. I know, I've tried them both.

[font="Geneva"]Peacemakers sow with the tool of wisdom given through God’s grace.
We reap what we sew. We sew in love, and do what is right and just, and our spiritual fruits abound and multiply within others. We reap an abundant harvest yielding eternal peace with Jesus Christ for the peacemakers and all mankind. [color=green]…the one who sows to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. (Gal 6:8)[/color]
How great are our many blessings.

[color=green]With the heavenly wisdom. It is not gained through the wisdom and knowledge of this world. The heavnly wisdom creates a different kind of roots in the body. These roots take their nourishment from the word of God, fruits of the spirit. And that's why the fruits that come out are so beautiful and serence to behold and enjoy in the spirit. Only the Spirit filled Chrisitians show these crops. These crops are evident in a believers life and many are benefited by them.[/color]

Righteousness--as the Amplified puts it: And the harvest of righteousness (conformity to God's will in thought and deed) is the fruit of the seed sown in peace by those who work for and make peace which means concord (agreement, harmony) between individuals, with untisturbedness, in a peaceful mind free from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts!!
When we conform to God's will in thought--and in deed-- there will be peace within--
This crop grows in those who are obeying God's will -- Christians!!

With what tool do peacemakers sow peace?
We sow peace only as we are controlled and filled by the Holy Spirit, living
in obedience to the Word of God, with the wisdom that is from above.
Why does this produce a ripening crop of righteousness?
Jesus was in favour with man and God. Wisdom enables us to make the
right decisions in life, thus pleasing God and our fellow man. It can also
be considered a fruit of the Spirit, that ungodly people can recognize and
respect us for.
In whom does this crop grow?
This crop grows in anyone who will seek with all their heart and is open to
the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit in doing the will of the Father.

The tool peacemakers use is love. This produces a ripening crop of righteousness because it "always trusts, always hopes" in God. True love in a person trusts God and hopes in God implicitly without reservation. The crop grows in those who wholeheartedly put their faith and trust in God through Jesus Christ.

Ans.
With the tool of righteousness (i.e. without partiality or hypocrisy).
This produced a ripening crop of righteousness as it is sown in peace
by those who make peace.
This crop grows on both the doer (peacemaker) as well as the hearer.
