The Eight Beatitudes
They Shall See God
Beatitudes · 3 verses
Purity of heart involves undivided devotion to God—singleness of purpose, unmixed motives, and internal integrity rather than mere external conformity. The pure in heart seek God Himself, not merely His gifts. They pursue holiness because they love the Holy One. Their reward exceeds all others: they shall see God—experiencing His presence now through faith and ultimately in the beatific vision of eternity. Only the pure can endure such sight, for God is 'of purer eyes than to behold evil.'
