DAY SEVEN: The Lord here gives eight characters of blessings, verses 3-12.
Verse 8. Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.
The Lord gives EIGHT characters of blessed people, which represent to us the true character of a Christian.
6th Description and Blessing: Verse Eight.
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”
Numbers 6:24-26
“The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”
2 Corinthians 13:14
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.”
The pure in heart are happy.
For they shall see God. Here holiness and happiness are fully described and put together. The heart must be purified by faith, and kept for God. “Create in me such a clean heart, O God.” None but the pure are capable of seeing God.
“Blessed are the pure in heart.”
The heart of man is naturally unclean; nor is it in the power of man to make it clean, or to be pure from his sin. Though they have sin dwelling in them, are justified from all sin, by the righteousness of Christ, and are “clean through the word.” And happy are they!
“For they shall see God.”
In this life, enjoying communion with Him, both in private and public, in the home and in the House of God; where they often behold His beauty, see His power and His glory, and taste, and know that He is good and gracious. Where they shall see God in Christ, with the eyes of their understanding; for Christ is God. Taste and see that God is good, God is good, and all the time God is good!
O! To see, walk and talk with God like Adam did in the Garden of Eden.
