The Purity Of The Heart.
Our hearts are purified by Faith; for by Faith we please God .
You are pure according to God because He regards you as pleasing unto Him; because you believe that He is what He says(His Word).
“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.”
Matthew 5:8 KJV
Purity of the Heart according to God is quite different when interpreted by man.
To be pure at heart is not because you do good things only say; help the needy , obey your parents and elders , feed the hungry and so on, no!
All these things are good but nevertheless they are not what makes one pure at heart.
According to John 15:3, Jesus was telling His disciples that they were made pure by the words He spoke to them, Glory to God.
I love that this purity of the Heart is from God, by God and authored by God for His Gloryyyy.
When you receive the word of God pertaining healing for example and allow it to purify your conscience to think and see things like God does so that faith may raise in you , then indeed you have been purified by the word.
A pure heart is a heart that is able to believe God for who He is !
A heart that is ever ready to believe God always is a pure heart.
Therefore we may say repeat our theme scripture and say that:"Blessed are they of a believing heart(a heart that is full of faith), for they shall see the Lord.
And friends, God has called us to be of pure hearts for He has made His Word available for us to believe it as it is and thus be made pure by it.
For His word washed us and we are now pure; and as we continue to grow in His word , our purity shines brighter and brighter.
Glory to God!
