Pure is defined as sincere, unfeigned, upright, virtuous, void of evil. Purity includes (1) the absence of the corrupt, and (2) the presence of the pure. The heart is the center of our spiritual life and being. It is that inward part of man which includes mind and soul with all their parts - affections, motives, intents and purposes. Therefore, according to the nature and character of the heart, we shall see the character of the life and actions. The heart may be compared to a reservoir which supplies a large city with water for its population. The water is carried by thousands of pipes. If the water in die reservoir is pure, it will be carried in its purity through the pipes to the inhabitants; but if it is dirty and impure, it will be dirty and impure when it arrives at the house. The heart is the reservoir from which life flows. The mouth, hands, feet, and actions are the pipes through which it flows. If the heart is pure, cleanness will be seen in life, word, and deed.

James Fennell only the absence of evil, but is also the addition of good. I believe the clean and pure heart is its own reward. But Jesus did not leave it there for He promises that the pure in heart shall see God. I am sure this is not a sight the unrepentant or impure man would enjoy. Christian, you shall see God in the day of the Lord, but you also see God now. You see God in all His works. You see God in the means of grace. You see God in providential events.
