Jesus taught that we see God through a heart that is 100% focused on him and free of deceit. And from this vision of God, we can bless others.
Matthew 5:8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Do we ignore Jesus' teaching to see God through a heart that is 100% focused on him and free of deceit? Then do we bless others what what we have seen?
Jesus might have been referencing Psalms 24:3-4: "Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall stand in his holy place? 4 Those who have clean hands and pure hearts, who do not lift up their souls to what is false, and do not swear deceitfully. 5 They will receive blessing from the LORD..."
Pure in heart: 1) singlemindedness in purpose (a heart 100% set on God and the things of God 2) utterly sincere (free of deceit). Seeing God: Ascending the hill of God and standing in his holy place.
