God?

"A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good, and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings

Purity of Heart Purity of Senses

Purity of Senses Purity of Heart

How do we purify our heart?1. Living a life of constant repentance

(Blessed are those who Mourn)

2. Being Simple:

But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you,

whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” (Luke 18:16-17)

3. Do not love the world(Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness)

The pure heart undoubtedly has the fruits of the spirit. (Gal 5:22,23)
