8 Steps to Righteousness by Faith...RESTORATION
8 Steps to Righteousness by Faith...RESTORATION
Being pure in heart means being made clean . . . without spot or blemish . . . through the Spirit and the Word.
As Christians, we must put God first in every thought, word, and action . . . (particularly those of us who consider ourselves mature Christians . . .) because sin and disillusionment will try and sometimes will be successful in breaking our hearts . . . but, by:
- Staying in God's word,
- Acknowledging our sins,
- Repenting when we sin, and
- Asking for His forgiveness,
Jesus will guide us to the potter’s house . . . where we can be rescued and where the process of restoration to a pure heart can be achieved.
Accordingly, before we can “see God,” as the sixth beatitude promises, we must go through a refining and restoration experience in the potter’s house. God required that from His own Son, as our example . . . so He requires no less from us.
Episode 6 breaks down the meaning of being pure in heart.
