Blessed are the Pure in Heart (Matthew 5:8)
We are continuing our study of what it means to be in the kingdom of God; God’s description of the inner realities of genuine repentance and faith. We continue this morning with verse 8, “Blessed are the pure in heart, because they shall see God.” “blessed” - the running theme throughout the beatitudes that describes the state of contentment, favor, joy, and peace of those who are in a right relationship with God. “the pure in heart” - as has been said all along the sphere of genuine Christianity is the inner man, the heart. This cuts through every thing superficial. God is Intensely Concerned about the Heart 1 Sam. 16:7 “God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart” 1 Chr. 29:17- 19 “I know, O my God, that You try the heart and delight in uprightness, I, in the integrity of my heart, have willingly offered all theses things … O LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, our fathers, preserve this forever in the intentions of the heart of Our people, and direct their heart to You; and give to my son Solomon a perfect heart to keep Your commandments, Your testimonies and Your statutes, and to do them all” Rev. 2:23 “I am He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds” God is and always has been concerned about the heart of His people.

Who are the Merciful (Matthew 5:7)
We are continuing our study in what is the Lord Jesus’ most extensive and detailed explanation of what it means to be in the kingdom of God. This is not an instruction manuel on how to enter the kingdom, but a description of those who are already in the Kingdom; a description of all true believers, what it means to be a genuine Christian. I have noted repeatedly, and will continue to do so, that being a Christian is not about what you do, but is a matter of who you are. God is utterly unconcerned about externals in themselves, but is intensely concerned about the condition of your heart. The Certainty of your Christian profession is not about what you do, but what defines you in your inner man, your character, your view of God, sin, Christ, self, others, and the world. This morning we will continue to examine what the inner man of a genuine Christian looks like, by looking at verse 7 of Matthew 5, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.”

Why We Do The Things We Do
At Calvary Temple we just wrapped up a week of minstering to the lives of over 600 children ages 2-11 through our annual Vacation Bible School. It takes approximately 200 volunteers and countless hours of preparation to pull this week off. Some people even schedule their summer vacation around this time so that they can minister to the children. Some might ask, "Why do you do that?" The answer is simple - we do this and so much more because of what we believe! We believe that JESUS is the only hope in this life and the only way to Heaven!
