"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Matthew 5:8
Purity: - without blemish or flaw; - 100%; - nothing there but what should be there
The reward for being pure in heart is that you shall see God. How can anyone SEE God? First off, He isn't a physical being, yet He is all-powerful and can allow people to see physical manifestations of Himself. Moses cried out to see the glory of God (not God Himself), and God replied, "You cannot see my face, for no man can see me and live" (Exodus 33:20). But then, because God desires to shower gifts upon His children, He allowed Moses to see HIS BACK!!!
The pure in heart refers both to inner moral purity and a heart wholly and completely committed to the Kingdom of God. Each of these is necessary for the other to exist. Without one, the other will not be.
May you be pure in heart. May you commit yourself totally and completely to following Christ and living your life to the standards He set forth - not moral codes of conduct, but live by Faith, Hope, and Love.
