Matthew 5:8 - Blessed
are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
The Greek word for “pure” had several interesting facets. It was used for soiled clothes that had been
washed clean. It was used to describe
grain and flour that had been carefully sifted and it was used to describe wine
or milk that hadn’t been mixed.
So the passage can be translated: Blessed is the man who is authentic, who is not a phony, such a man
will see God
Does that mean that you’ll live a perfect Christian life,
that you’ll never have another bad thought?
No, bad thought will come, Satan will see to that and you’ll make plenty
of mistakes but we can come to God & say, here I am with all my
imperfections. I’m not perfect but I
want to be real.
The promise is that God can work with that. So if you want to see God, take off your mask
and quit being phony. Blessed are the
pure in Spirit.
