Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Who shall ascend unto the hill of the Lord? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
All errors of ministry of Christ, whether legalist self-righteousness or lascivious grace, arise from one thing: Hearers only or doers outwardly with hearts of lust.
No hearer is ever born of the word of God, until the heart obeys the first commandment of God and purifies our hearts from lust of the world.
Them that are full of hearing with the ears, and full of righteous works of the body, who still have lust in the heart are neither born of God nor are becoming the sons of God.
Only them that purify their hearts of lust are them that love God with all the heart and are chosen by God to be the elect saints in Christ Jesus.
No man loves God at all with the heart, who thinks to love God with all the unclean heart.
Whether we seek to obey God bodily without washing the inside of the cup first, or we seek to believe in a salvation with the whole cup filthy, we shall not enter into the kingdom of God.
No heart of lust can be right with God by grace, nor can he be the righteous of God by works:
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived.
The unclean heart is decieved that thinks it shall ever see God in it's own unrighteousness, or in the righteousness of it's own works.
No man shall obtain eternal salvation that does not obey the first great commandments of God: to love God with all the heart, and to love our neighbors with a pure heart.
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently.
Both the legalist and the licentious are judged by God to be hearers only, who have yet to have the word of the gospel sink into the ears of their hearts, by obeying the truth and purify the heart of lust.
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
In the OT they were still commanded to have their heart right with God, while obeying His law, and in the NT we are commanded to make our heart right first by purifying it from lust of the world.
For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
The legalist does not believe it is necessary to do so, while keeping the law of Christ, and the licentious do not believe it is even possible to do so, while going on still in their lust and sins of the flesh.
The blood of bulls and goats could not cleanse the conscience of sins nor purify the heart of lust, and so it was necessary for the Lamb of God to shed His blood on the cross to give power to them that believe on His name to do so:
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.
This is the pure salvation and pure religion that the prophets searched for, and is only given to them that receive the faith of Jesus into their hearts to obey Him and purify their hearts, even as He is pure.
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
The blood of the Lamb of God is not that of a bull or a goat to only cover up sins of the soul and lust of the heart. Nor did He shed His blood to justify our own righteousness with a heart full of lust.
