Called Sons of God

Part II: On Hope · The Seventh Beatitude

Q473

What does the Lord promise to peacemakers?

That they shall be called sons of God, for children resemble their Father, and our Father is the God of peace (Rom 15:33; 1Th 5:23; see Q167, Q367), whose kindness extends even to the ungrateful: “that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good” (Mat 5:45; see Q121, Q389).
