Good Day Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Jesus is promising us that having a pure heart will allow us to see God, and that is one of the greatest hopes of our people. As we have learned from our Scriptures, seeing God is in righteousness, seeing His likeness.[1] When we know God intimately and personally, it can only be done so with purity of heart that comes from a conscience that has been purged from evil. With the conscience having been purged and the heart pure, there is a light within that enables us to see God. To the Hebrews, being in the presence of kings or priests is considered a great honor, especially to see them personally; therefore, seeing God is to know Him and fellowship with Him in an intimate and personal manner. But those who have this hope of seeing Him will purify their hearts in order to see Him clearly.
With a pure heart, you can not only see God with the perception of faith, but can look forward to spending eternity with Him!
“Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who shall stand in His holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up His soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.” (Psalm 24:3-4)
