ALWAYS STRIVE FOR PURITY

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Matthew 5:8

“Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.”

Additional Verses

📖 Isaiah 11:1-9; John 14:1-31; Romans 8:1-14

Who are the pure in heart? It is only those who walk according to God’s Word and are led by His Spirit. It is the Word of God that cleanses you and gives you a pure heart. In John 15:3, Jesus Christ said to His disciples, “You are already clean because of the Word which I have spoken to you.” This confirms that it is the Word of God that gives you a pure heart. The Word to bless, means to be made happy, enviably fortunate-possessing the happiness produced by the experience of God’s favor and especially conditioned by the revelation of His grace. (Amplified Bible). When you have this happiness produced by the experience of God’s favor which is caused by the revelation of His grace, your life will be full of prosperity and success. In John 14:23, Jesus Christ says, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My Word; and the Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” According to Jesus Christ’s statement, the Trinity will actually make an embassy of anyone who meditates upon the Word of God day and night observing to live according to the Word as what Moses and Joshua did. The Trinity will not make an embassy of anyone who does not regard the Word. This again shows that it is only obedience to the Word of God that gives purity to a believer’s heart. This is why there are people of God, children of God and sons of God. People of God are all those who are not yet in the kingdom of God. Children of God are all those who have been born again but are yet to grow to become sons of God. The sons of God are those children of God who spend time meditating upon the Word of God and further go on to do what the Word says. These are the ones who walk by the law of the Spirit and the law of the flesh no longer has any claim or power over them. These are those who are referred to in Romans 8:14 as, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” Those who are still children are those who still wrestle between the law of the flesh and the law of the Spirit. Children always do things when they are told to do something while sons are always searching for the will of the Father from what the Father has said in His Word for anything they will ever do. Sons of God have the fullness of the Spirit of God in them according to Isaiah 11:2. Sons of God are always thirsting for more of God’s Word at the dawn of each new day. As Jesus Christ cried out in John 7:37 that, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of His heart will flow rivers of living water.” May I also encourage you to be more and more thirsty for His Word which will make you pure in heart in order that you may become the embassy of the Trinity, God the Father, God the Lord Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit. Alleluia!

Prayer

Dear Almighty Father, I ask that You fill me with Your Spirit so that I may be pure in heart in all I do. Help me to walk in Your ways always for Your ways are pure. In Jesus Christ’s mighty name I pray. Amen.
