WANT TO SEE GOD? - “… without holiness no one will see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14). Purity is an absolute measure: something is either pure or impure; it cannot be 99% pure … because it is then impure. To be pure in heart’ is to be 100% free from sin, and totally pleasing to God. This is a tough standard, especially when we consider that holiness is not measured over an hour or a day – but over a lifetime. Yet Jesus places purity of heart as the condition for seeing God. The good news is that although it is impossible for us to mask previous failures by good deeds, the death of Jesus paid for the offence of our impurity; and as we repent of it, He takes it away (Psalm 103:12, Micah 7:19). Therefore, Every time we fail, we need to confess our sin and ask the Lord to take it away (1 John 1:9). - Matthew 5:8 - Word@Work
