Matthew 5:8
Matthew 5:8
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Purity of heart is a beautiful and important characteristic for every believer to pursue. To have a pure heart means to have a heart that is free from deceit, selfishness, and sinful desires. It is a heart that is fully devoted to God, seeking His will above all else. The blessing for those who pursue purity of heart is profound—when we live with a pure heart, we experience a closeness with God that is unmatched. This purity allows us to see God more clearly, not just in the world around us but in our relationship with Him. A pure heart is a heart that is continually being transformed by God’s grace, reflecting His love and holiness to the world. It is a heart that is open to His leading and receptive to His presence. Purity is not something we can achieve on our own, but it is the work of the Holy Spirit within us. The more we allow the Spirit to cleanse our hearts, the more we experience the joy and peace that come from a pure and undivided devotion to God. Purity of heart leads to intimacy with God, and this is the ultimate blessing—the privilege of knowing Him and being known by Him.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
