Matthew 5:8. Purity, a word that is
becoming extinct. In the beginning (genesis), God's creation was pure
(unadulterated). Then sin entered the world and after that everything became
corrupted. In the early 1990s, the "transgenic" (Genetically
Modified) foods were put on the market and it caused a commotion.
Nowadays, there are animals and probably people being Genetically Modified. If
you are in a store and hear someone been called "GM", pay attention.
If the person is old, he (she) is only the General Manager, but if he is
young, he could be a Genetically Modified General Manager (lol). Today, we
may be eating a "Frankenstein" (GM) corn on the cob without
knowing it. The old "bizarre" is becoming the new
"normal". The more we try to fix our world, the worse it gets! First
question: Is it really possible to be pure
in heart? According to Jesus it is possible, and the ones who are pure in heart, they
are blessed!
Second question: How can we become the pure in heart? See
what Paul told Timothy: 2 Timothy
2:22. Fleeing from sin and pursuing righteousness, faith,
love and peace. Third question: Where do we find righteousness, faith, love and
peace? In Jesus Christ! Righteousness:
Philippians 1:11; faith:
John 17:20; love: Romans 8:39; peace:
John 14:27.
Conclusion: A pure heart is only attained by an intimate
relationship with Jesus Christ. The more we know Him, the more we will be
cleansed by His word. John 17:17 .
