Why must we have a pure heart?

 


Mark 7:20-23

King James Version

20 And he said, 

That which cometh out of the man, 

that defileth the man.

21 For from within, 

out of the heart of men, 

proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, 

fornications, murders,

22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, 

deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, 

blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

23 All these evil things come from within, 

and defile the man.


That's what JESUS said.

From within our hearts, "proceed evil thoughts".

The Bible confirms the thing about our hearts:

Matthew 12:34-37

King James Version

34 O generation of vipers, 

how can ye, being evil, 

speak good things? 

for out of the abundance of the heart 

the mouth speaketh.

35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart 

bringeth forth good things: 

and an evil man out of the evil treasure 

bringeth forth evil things.

36 But I say unto you, 

That every idle word that men shall speak, 

they shall give account thereof 

in the day of judgment.

37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, 

and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.


Jeremiah 17:9

King James Version

9 The heart is deceitful above all things, 

and desperately wicked: 

who can know it?


Who can know the heart?

There's One who knows.

JESUS said GOD knows our hearts:

Luke 16:15

King James Version

15 And he said unto them, 

Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; 

but God knoweth your hearts: 

for that which is highly esteemed among men 

is abomination in the sight of God.


There's no hiding from GOD.

Just so you know.

Jeremiah 17:10

King James Version

10 I the Lord search the heart, 

I try the reins, 

even to give every man according to his ways, 

and according to the fruit of his doings.


2 Chronicles 16:9

King James Version

9 For the eyes of the Lord 

run to and fro throughout the whole earth, 

to shew himself strong in the behalf of them 

whose heart is perfect toward him. 

Herein thou hast done foolishly: 

therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.


It's all preparation now.

For the RAPTURE.

You would want to be with JESUS on that day.

How to have a pure heart?
