Lesson Text:
Matthew 5: 1-2;8
And seeing the
multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His
disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:
Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.
The thoughts of the wicked are an
abomination to the LORD, But the words of the pure are pleasant.
Proverbs 15:26
Even a child is known by
his deeds, Whether what he does is pure and right.
Proverbs 20:11
Do not........... share in other people's
sins; keep yourself pure.
1 Timothy 5:22
Do not be deceived: "Evil company
corrupts good habits."
1 Corinthians 15:33
HAVE A
PURE HEART__

The devil wants
good people to do bad things. It makes God very sad when His children
dirty up the clean minds that He gave them. Jesus said that the pure in
heart will see God. That means that those who have dirty minds and
hearts will not get to see God. Instead they will be punished in hell.
What is a pure heart? It is a heart that loves good things, truthful
things and it hates evil. Someone with a pure heart will not tell dirty
jokes or laugh at dirty jokes. A child with a pure heart does not like
to look at dirty pictures or to play with other children who like to say
or do dirty things. A child with a pure heart tries to help others to be
good and wants what is good to always be done instead of bad things.
