Matthew 5:8. being pure in heart.
In this week's chapel we discussed Matthew 5:8 about being pure in heart and as we survey the culture, there is often a lack of purity displayed. Whether its movies, tv shows, and even in the schools and workplaces, oftentimes purity is missing.
_
When we talk about purity, we're referring to being both spiritually pure and keeping one’s life pure in the words we say and in the things we do.
_
No matter how the world acts, we are called to a higher calling and Jesus provides us with another prescription to living a blessed life for Him through Matthew 5:8.
_
Being pure in heart begins and ends with Jesus. He's the one who heals our spiritual heart wound due to sin and helps us be pure in heart through what we say, think, and do. Furthermore, being pure in heart physically through your thoughts, words, and actions is something you have to own and work hard at, but, you’re not alone. God, His Word, and The Holy Spirit are right there with you to help you stay pure.
_
As you begin your new life in Him, His Holy Spirit helps you remain pure in heart as He helps refine you as He progressively sanctifies you by removing the imperfections that stunt your purity in heart and growth.
_
Being pure in heart also involves having a heart that is fully devoted to God. If you love Him with all your heart, soul, and mind…there’s no room for loving sin or to fill up your heart with anything that is detrimental to you.
_
No matter what others say, remember that there is strength in being pure in heart.
_
We are called to be pure in our conduct, pure in speech, pure in morality, pure in attitude, pure in ethics. We're called to strive to be pure in every way possible.
_
So, be one of the blessed ones and strive to keep your heart pure with God's help!
