James 4:7-8 CLEANSE my heart & hands

I. What is a “Pure Heart?” Matthew 5:8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” John 7:17; John 4:34 Matthew 6:33 James 4:4-8 It is LACK of SINCERITY that so often leads to LACK of PURITY.

II. Clean Hands come from Pure Hearts 1 Corinthians 10:13 There is a disconnect between belief in Christ and COMMITMENT to Christ. Matthew 5:28; 15:18-19 1 Thessalonians 4:3-7 Collateral consequences (6a) Direct consequences (6b)

III. What does this mean, practically? James 4:7-8 The key ingredient to purity is drawing near to God. One who is focused on Christ, is working for Him, and has a heart devoted to God and their spouse will not commit adultery. Psalm 101:3 “I will set nothing wicked before my eyes.”
