poieo poieo {poy-eh'-o} 1a) to act rightly, do well; to carry out, to executeBarnes Notes
Verse 9. Blessed are the peacemakers. Those who strive to prevent contention, and strife, and war. Who use their influence to reconcile opposing parties, and to prevent lawsuits, and hostilities, in families and neighbourhoods. Every man may do something of this; and no man is more like God than he who does it. There ought not to be unlawful and officious interference in that which is none of our but, has business; without any danger of acquiring this character, every man many opportunities of reconciling opposing parties. Friends, neighbours, men of influence, lawyers, physicians, may do much to promote peace. And it should be taken in hand in the beginning. "The beginning of strife," says Solomon, "is like the letting out of water." "An ounce of prevention," says the English proverb, "is worth a pound of cure." Long and most deadly quarrels might be prevented by a little kind interference in the beginning. Children of God. Those who resemble God, or who manifest a spirit like his. He is the Author of peace, (
#1Co 14:33) and all those who endeavour to promote peace are like him, and are worthy to be called his children.#Ps 34:14"peacemakers"
Sin creates a lot of strife and "war." Having an attitude of peacemaking opens the eyes to the causes of strife and war: SIN. Being a peacemaker reduces sin around that person.
