Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

Matthew 5:8

BSB

A pure heart

Pure in heart means undivided. Not saying one thing and meaning another. Not half for God and half for yourself.

The promise is the greatest of all: seeing God. In the Old Testament no one could see God and live. Jesus promises it to those who live with a pure heart.
