Blessed Are the Pure in Heart

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

Philippians 2:15 (ESV) “…that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world…”

How to Sustain a Pure Heart

1. Quick to believe.

Luke 24:25 (ESV) “Oh, slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!”

Hebrews 3:12 (NLT) Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God.

2. Quick to forgive.

Proverbs 4:23 (NLT) Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

Ephesians 4:31-32 (ESV) Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

3. Quick to repent.

Revelation 2:21 (NLT) I gave her time to repent, but she does not want to turn away from her immorality.
