In Matthew 5:8, Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” God has always possessed an interest in the heart of man instead of the appearance of man (1 Samuel 16:7). That is why the heart is repeatedly at the heart of Jesus’ teaching (Matthew 6:21; Mark 7:21-23; 12:30; Luke 6:45). In this lesson, we will explore why God looks at the heart and what it will require to possess a pure heart.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”
– Matthew 5:8
