Being pure in heart requires understanding Scripture through the lens of Christ, who embodies the fulfillment of prophetic texts. Old Testament passages, especially the Psalms, refer to both David and ultimately point to Christ, illustrating that while David foreshadows the Messiah, only Christ truly meets the criteria of purity and righteousness. Acknowledging this connection allows believers to grasp their own standing before God. Though personal failure and weakness in faith occur, genuine repentance and the work of regeneration lead to a sincere relationship with God, affirming that purity is not merely imputed but also transformative.
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” - Matthew 5:8. How can sinners be “pure in heart”? In this episode, Michael Horton, Walter Strickland, Justin Holcomb, and Bob Hiller consider how Christians are refined in the crucible of God’s sanctification—shaped through trials, strengthened in their daily struggles with sin, and fully made perfect by God’s grace when faith becomes as sight.
