The heavenly wisdom that we have been talking about is the tool that peacemakers use to sow peace. Heavenly Wisdom begets peace. Peace is the total product of the holy life. This crop grows in us but it is also an influence on all the people we come in contact with. We can help produce peace with others. We can promote heavenly wisdom with the help of God.

I BELIEVE WE CAN USE LOVE, WISDOM FROM ABOVE AND THE WORDS OF OUR MOUTH TO SOW PEACE INTO THE LIVES OF OTHERS.IF WE ARE SENSITIVE TO THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WE CAN HAVE PEACE IN OUR RELATIONSHIPS DAILY INSTEAD OF STRIFE AND CONFUSION.

THIS PRODUCES A RIPENING CROP OF RIGHTEOUSNESS BECAUSE WE ARE DOING IT OF OF LOVE AND NOT SELFISHNESS. WE ARE CHOOSING TO WAIT ON GOD FOR HIS WISDOM WHICH IS PURE, PEACEABLE, GENTLE, FULL OF MERCY AND WITHOUT HYPOCRISY.WE'RE USING GOD'S INSIGHT AND NOT OURS.

THIS CROP GROWS IN US AND THOSE AROUND US ARE INFLUENCED BT IT........GOD BLESS....

We sow with the tool called Love. Love changes our hearts, displacing selfishness. This is the ripening crop of righteousness. This crop grows in us as individual Christians.

Peacemakers use the tool of "common ground". That being that we are all made by one Creator and are controlled by that one Creator. If we were truly all of one body and Spirit we would strive to live the life that God has called us to, a life of holiness (wholeness in Him). If there is strife and envy among the brethren then God's love can not manifest among the body. We must surrender to God's will and not our own so that we can all function within the body as we must.

The only tool that can make peace is the Love of Christ in our hearts that others may see. When we show the Love of Christ to all that we come into contact with (believer or non-believer) it will make them thristy to want more. Also it softens our hearts when we let this love come into it. Those who grow in this will be ourselfs and those that we meet.

Peace is one of the fruits of the Spirit. So I believe the #1 tool, after salvation of course, is the Holy Spirit of God. This will work hand in hand with love and joy which are more fruits of the Spirit. Our reward for being a peace maker is to enjoy that peace. Dwell with all men in peace as much as is possible. We must put forth every effort to bring about peace which again goes to humilty - putting others needs ahead of our own.

Peacemakers sow peace with love and understanding, learning to walk in another's shoes, hear what they say, feel what they feel. It's the pay-it-forward idea. When someone does something in love, we repay it forward to another and another. The crop grows in each of us.

When our hearts are changed we can use our tongues to sow peace. This way we encourage and bless others. This produces a ripening crop of righteousness in those close to us as well as in ourselves. If every Christian was a peacemaker sowing peace what a mighty influence the church would be for good on Earth!

Peacemakers sow with the fruit of the Holy Spirit, Love.

Love produces this kind of ripening crop of righteousness because kind breeds kind. In other words, if you sow in contempt, you harvest nothing but contempt. If you sow in love and righteousness, you produce a crop full of love and righteousness.

This is the fruit of the Holy Spirit becoming manifest in the believers' hearts and lives.

Q4. (3:17-18)

With what tool do peacemakers sow peace?

Why does this produce a ripening crop of righteousness?

In whom does this crop grow?

It is with heavenly wisdom, which is a free gift of a gracious God, that peacemakers sow peace. When we live peaceably together, actively concerned for harmony and unity, the result will be righteousness, because we are living in obedience to the will of God. Now when we live together in this righteous way, then our behaviour towards each other will be godly, and the result will be harmonious relationships.

Peacemakers sow peace(love). Love is a fruit of the Spirit. When we speak in anger it only flames strife and hurt. A gentle word(seed) we plant can raise a harvest of righteousness. The ripening crop of righteousness will grow in us and those that surround us.

Search me Lord and see if there be any wicked way in me.

The tool is wisdom which is from above. Wisdom from God is full of peace, love, hope, and is pure,full of mercy and good fruits. It being pure is free from defilement, bitterness, envy, and all selfish motives.This tool wisdom is better than rubies, and all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her. that is Proverbs 8 vs 11. and God gave many pages of His word on wisdom especially in Proverbs. I find the answer to why does this produce a ripening crop of righteousness in Proverbs 2 vs 1-15. This crop grows in the upright, the followers of Christ those willing to listen to Him, to submit to God. Thanks be to God! :rolleyes:

Q4. (3:17-18) With what tool do peacemakers sow peace? Why does this produce a ripening crop of righteousness? In whom does this crop grow?

3:17But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness."

One sows peace through the wisdom from heaven. It is in contrast with the wisdom that comes from the devil that is noted in James 3:15. The wisdom from heaven according to James is:

  • Pure
  • Peace loving
  • Considerate
  • Submissive
  • Full of mercy and good fruit
  • Impartial
  • Sincere

It can easily be contrasted with items identified as love in 1 Corinthians 13:

  • Patient
  • Kind
  • Does not envy
  • Does not boast
  • Not proud
  • Not rude
  • Not self-seeking
  • Not easily angered
  • Keeps no record of wrongs
  • Does not delight in evil
  • Rejoices with the truth
  • Always protects
  • Always trusts
  • Always hopes
  • Always perseveres
  • Never fails

So in essence, the tool that one sows with is Love -- AGAPE love. Peacemakers who sow in peace have the "right spirit". They are directed by the spirit and therefore bear fruit. James wants peace for the church because peace is the context in which righteousness can grow and produce a harvest.
