How to be Pure in Heart

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew‬ ‭5:8‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

This verse can be quite convicting. If read the wrong way, it can send you spiraling downward into self-occupation and self-condemnation.

If you think it’s up to you to guard your heart in order to become pure in heart, you have missed the point.

The truth is, if it was up to your performance to be pure in heart, you would never get to see God.

Invariably, we would have bad thoughts and if you’re constantly feeling condemned every time, your focus will go to yourself instead of Christ.

In the Old Testament, we find a prophecy about what God will do:

“I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my ordinances, and do them.” (Ezekiel‬ ‭36:26-27‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Did you know that you received a new heart the moment you were born-again through faith in Jesus? The new heart loves the things of God and produces righteous desires—it is not rebellious against God’s ways like the stony unbeliever’s heart was.

Your new heart makes you pure in heart, and because of this, you shall see God. When Jesus returns for us, you will see Him first, and then we will all be brought up into Heaven to meet Abba Father.

Being pure in heart is not an achievement you earn. You freely received a pure new heart when you got saved! You don’t have to try to become what you already are.

Understand the four gospels through the lens of Grace: https://bit.ly/understandeveryparable

The sixth hour is 12pm, the hottest time of the day.
The woman of Samaria went to draw water at that time because the other women would probably go at a cooler time of the day.
She was someone that people gossiped about and alienated because of her questionable relationships with many men.
When the whole world had abandoned her, God did not abandon her.
He specially made a trip to reveal Himself as the Messiah to her, and lovingly guided her out of self-occupation into Christ-occupation!
When she turned away from her own weaknesses, she became a bold evangelist for God, and saved many souls with her testimony.
If you are a believer and have a past that you’re not proud of, have you ever thought what a powerful testimony it could be to save others?
People can’t relate with those who pretend to be perfect, but they will be inspired by those who humbly testify that Jesus has delivered them from the same struggles that plague all of mankind!
