Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
Jesus is referring to those who actively intervene to make peace. The natural approach is to watch strife from the sidelines. The divine approach is to take positive action toward creating peace.
Peacemakers are called sons of God. This is not how they become sons of God-that can only happen by receiving Jesus Christ as Savior (John1:12). By making peace, believers manifest themselves as sons of God, and God will one day acknowledge them as people who bear the family likeness.
Mat 5:7 Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy.
This verse is saying if you are merciful then you will receive mercy --- as you sow you will reap
The Sermon on the Mount is often misunderstood, the Beatitudes do not show the way of salvation or tell us what a person must be like to be a Christian. The equivalent 'church' teaching is about the Holy Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit.
Matt 5:20 is a key to understanding the Beatitudes:
Mat 5:20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
The theme of the Beatitudes is true righteousness. The religious leaders of Jesus' day had an artificial, external righteousness based on the law. The righteousness that Jesus describes however is a true righteousness that comes from the heart. Jesus is comparing true righteousness to the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees. Jesus is in fact rebuking the religious leader for their false righteousness.

the peacemakers
: Those who sow peace in the world (Jas 3:18). Partly, this means striving to live at peace with others (Heb 12:14); ultimately, it means sharing the gospel so that others can be reconciled with God and live in the peace of Christ (Rom 5:1; Phil 4:7). Peacemakers will be called children of God (Mt 5:45). The gift of divine sonship is both a present possession of believers (Rom 8:14-16; 1 Jn 3:1) and a future hope linked with the resurrection of the body (Rom 8:23) and the glory of eternal life (Rev 21:7) (CCC 2305).
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be conforted if you are sad and need help, Jesus Christ will help you and comfort you.
