我们现在来看第七个能给灵性和心理带来健康的积极态度：「使人和睦的人有福了！因为他们必称为神的儿子」（太五9）。这个福似乎与我们当前的时代特别有关系，因为如果说这世界此刻需要甚么的话，那就是需要使人和睦的人。

我们这个时代从未经历过全球的和平。一位权威人士说：「近代历史大部分时期的空气里都充满战争临近的威胁，直到今天，在所谓科学启蒙时期的顶峰，全球性冲突的威胁恐吓着我们这个核子时代，就如慢性自杀一般。」虽然东西方的冷战结束了，但在核子冲突边缘所带来的不稳定，对所有国家的人，都在造成灵性上或心理上的损失。根据研究显示，活在这么一个有能力以摧毁全球来毁灭自己的时代，对绝大多数人的思想都会带来一定程度的危害。

从没有任何时代，使人和睦的人好像现在这么重要。越来越多人站出来支持和平。和平组织表示他们的会员人数不断上升；他们努力去提醒世界需要有国际条约，这不错引起了传媒各方面的关注，但奇怪的是，大部分关注国与国之间和平的人士，都看不见他们自己有与创造主和好的需要。一个严肃的真理告诉我们，根据圣经的教导，人若自己没有经历过内心的平安，就没可能成为使人和睦的人。

have come now to the seventh positive attitude that makes for good spiritual and mental health: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God" (Matt. 5:9). This Beatitude seems to have a special relevance to the age through which we are passing, for if there is one thing the world needs at this moment, it is peacemakers.

Our generation has never known peace worldwide. One authority says: "During most of our recent history the air has been filled with rumblings of pending war until today, at the so-called peak of scientific enlightenment, the menace of a global conflict threatens our atomic age with suicide." The uncertainty caused by being on the brink of nuclear confrontation, despite the end of the cold war between the East and West, has taken its toll on people of all nations, spiritually and psychologically. Studies show that living in a generation which has the power to annihilate itself in global destruction has a crippling effect upon the minds of thousands, if not millions of people.

There was never a time when peacemakers were as important as they are now. And more and more are standing up to be counted on the side of peace. The peace organisations report increasing memberships and their attempts to alert the world to the need for international treaties continues to gain the attention of every section of the media. Yet how strange that most of those who are so concerned for peace between nations fail to see the need for peace between themselves and their Creator. The solemn truth is that no man or woman can become a peacemaker - at least in the biblical sense of the word - until they have found peace within their innermost being.
