How happy are the peacemakers, for they are the sons and daughters of God. We become peacemakers when we help others receive the gospel, for the gospel brings them peace. This applies to those who dissipate contention as well as those who facilitate conversion. “The peacemakers are truly the children of God. They stand in direct opposition to the quarrelsome and contentious” (David O. McKay, Gospel Ideals: Selections from the Discourses of David O. McKay [Salt Lake City: Improvement Era, 1953], 41).
