Q. 14.-"Please explain Matt. 5:8. Are there any ‘pure in heart.’ "

Ans.-Yes. That is the character of those who will see God. "Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord." The verse is true in the same way as 1 Jno. 3:9-" Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin."As born of God, he does not; bring into view the flesh, and he does when he fulfills its lusts. So with purity of heart; it is the broad line which separates God's children from the men of the world. But the flesh is there too, and to be watched-fleshly lusts to be abstained from. Coming
down to individual cases, surely the most spiritual will not claim for himself heart-purity in the sense generally understood-complete holiness. Above all, there is no such thing as a change of the natural heart." A new heart will I give unto you." The old remains there, a witness of what we were, and ever ready to assert itself in power again.
