Summary
We're focusing these weeks on how by God's grace we can be a people that are salt and light in the world. And so we're studying how can we by God's grace be salt and light and so we come to our text for today. In their verse 8 of chapter 5, Jesus says, Blessed are the pure in heart. The focus with the pure in heart is giving all glory to God, of understanding that life, and living it is all about him, him, singular focus, to bring him glory in everything. And so what does God do, but God gets close to us by sending his son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to the cross and on the cross, all of the impurity, all of it, all of the sin. We are made pure through the Lord Jesus Christ, and He calls us now and frees us to a singular focus to give God glory.
