This post explores why the Children of God are all in One and should be Peacemakers.

Children of God and Brotherly Love

In Deuteronomy 6:5, we learn the truth, *Love your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, with all your mind, and love your neighbour as yourself.*
We can love God because God first loved us, and we are able to love our neighbour in the Christian sense only because God first loved us.

Psalm 133:1 The psalmist sings, *How good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell in unity!*
Those who truly live in unity with their brothers have a constant source of joy.

MBE says, in SH 340:21 *The one, infinite God, the good, unites people and nations; establishes the brotherhood of man; ends wars;*
The enemies of unity are envy, gossip, accusations, fault finding, and lack of love. Psalm 133 by McDonald: https://bible.by/mcdonald/19/132/

St.Paul in his epistle to Galatians 3:28 underlines clearly for the whole humanity,
*There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.*
Barclay interprets this Bible’s verse here https://bible.by/barclay/55/3/ thus
“When we are grateful for God’s grace and clothe ourselves in Christ, then, and only then, will we all be one. Not human strength, but only God’s love can unite a disunited world.”

True Brotherhood of man is established in the individual consciousness of a person and does not depend on the establishment of Truth in the consciousness of all humanity.
In the Miscellany 281:10, the MBE also proclaims, *On the statement “On earth peace, good will among men,”* the brotherhood of all peoples is established;

One God, One Mind, and “Love thy neighbour as thyself”— this is the basis through which the infinite God, goodness, Father-Mother Love, is ours, and in divine Science we are His.
MBE confirms this in her healing book Scзence Health with key to the Scriptures 467:11-13 *As the fact of loving one’s neighbour becomes manifest, humanity will improve, wars will cease, and true brotherhood of man will be established.*

MBE confirms that idea if unity thus in SH 518:14-18,
*The rich in spirit help the poor in spirit in one, great brotherhood, for all share the same Principle, or Father; And blessed is the man who sees his brother’s need and supplies it, finding his own benefit in the good of another.* (to order this book you can on the page RESOURCES on this sight online or the Paperback)

If the capacity for love is developed within us, we cannot help but love our brothers.
Brotherly love is based on the feeling that we are all one. Differences in talent, education, and knowledge are not considered; the key here is the identity of the human essence, common to all people.

Brotherly love is love between equals. As people, we all need help. Love for the helpless, love for the poor and the stranger — this is the beginning of brotherly love.

Let each of us answer the question, *Is it obvious to us *to love all mankind*?
In Science and Health 336:28-30 MBE answers that question with confidence. *God and man are not the same, but in the order of divine Science, God and man coexist and are eternal.*

The Christian Science Creed states 497:13-15, *We acknowledge Jesus’ atonement as the evidence of divine, efficacious Love, unfolding man’s unity with God through Christ Jesus the Way-shower; *

The Christian idea of God and man is based on love.
Starting from this perspective of unity with God, we can stand firm and yet be merciful; we can be strong and yet meek and compassionate.

Who are the children of God?

The Apostle Paul declares to the Galatians, *you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus;* The other words Children of God are joint heirs with Christ.
Likewise MBE explains in SH, *The perfect man was in due time discovered and known as Christ Jesus.*

Rom. 8:14 as,16,17 (to 3) Paul explains who the children of God are:
*as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are sons of God. The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God , and joint heirs with Christ.*

All people are children of God in the sense that they owe their lives to Him.
It is like a student being led by a teacher in the learning process, a traveller by a guide, and a warrior by a leader.

Their privilege is that they are children of God, accepted into the family of God through adoption, recognized and loved by Him as His children.
The apostle strives to draw us closer to God. Since not all children are heirs, he shows that we are both children and heirs. Thus, Paul says, the Holy Spirit himself is a witness that we have been adopted into the family of God. We begin a new life with God and become heirs.

Here is a testimonial from the Christian Science Journal that answers this question: that peacemakers are called sons of God.
*Create Peace* 1986 by Katherine Kimbro

On the way home from school, Patty did not want to laugh or sing. His mother asked, “Tell me what
happened?” Patty burst into tears and said, “Charlie keeps saying bad things about me at school.”
Mom told Patty how Jesus Christ taught his disciples: “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you.”

But Patty wasn’t sure he could relate well to Charlie. Then Mom said,
“Another name for God is Truth. What is true about a child of God will protect you. God, the Truth, keeps His children safe.”
“What do you mean?” Mom replied, “What if someone said you had green hair? What if they said it for a whole year? Would it be true?”
“No,” Patty giggled. “It will always be a lie.”

“So the truth never changes.
If Charlie tells a lie, it can’t hurt you or ever be true. But you can still love Charlie.
A child of God doesn’t want to hurt anyone, and Charlie truly is a child of God, just like you. And God the Truth knows what to say to each of you,” Mom said.

Soon, the teacher at school seated Charlie at a different table. Things improved. But a few weeks later, Charlie hit Patty. Patty didn’t hit him back. But at home, he cried, saying, “When will this healing finally come?”

A blessed thought came to Mom. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.” She told Patty, “You and I still need to know that Charlie is a child of God, even though it seems like he isn’t. No matter how someone acts, we can love. We can forgive. That’s what makes peace.”

That same day, Charlie’s mom called and apologized for Charlie hitting Patty. She said she’d talk to Charlie. Charlie apologized to Patty. And he truly regretted it, because he had been good to Patty ever since.
At the end of the school year, Charlie gave Patty a note. It said, “I’m glad we’re friends.” Patty thought, “I’m glad I’m a peacemaker.”

Are we peacemakers?
