Subject: the Happiness of a Pure Heart

Bible Note: Good stuff, Doc!

I will add one more, from a post you made last July, quoting Jonathan Edwards:

"And are there any that now hear me, who think themselves to be Christians, who do yet, either in their imaginations and thoughts, or in any secret practice, allow and indulge the lust of uncleanness, and live in such a way? If it be so, they had great need to bethink themselves whether or no they are not of that generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not cleansed from their filthiness. If they imagine that they are pure in heart, and live in such wickedness, their confidence is vain presumption. Inquire whether holy exercises and holy employments are the delight of your soul, and what you take pleasure in above all other things in which you can be engaged. Are the enjoyments that you choose, and take the greatest delight in, spiritual and heavenly enjoyments? Is the seeing of God, and conversing with Him, and dwelling in His presence forever, what you should of your own accord choose above all other things?" --Jonathan Edwards

Love in Christ,
Mark
