Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. (Matthew 5:8)
What does it mean to be pure in heart? pure in heart means a clean heart. What does it mean to see God? We cannot see God with our naked eyes, but we can feel the presence of God. To see God is to feel the presence of God.
Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. (James 4:8)
Here it says that if we draw near to God, God will draw near to us. To draw near to God, sinners should confess their sins and repent, and those who are double minded between God and the world should purify their hearts, because the world will affect our drawing near to God. If we seek God with all our heart, we shall find Him.
Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god. (Psalms 24:3-4)
Here it says that who can ascend to God’s mountain and stand in God’s sanctuary, they are those with clean hands and a pure heart, i. e. those who are pure in heart will see God.
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. (1 John 4:16)
God is love. If we live in love, we live in God, and God lives in us, then we have the presence of God, and we can see God. May God bless you and your family. 🙏😊
