Matthew 5:8 “How blessed are the pure in heart! for they will see God."
Holiness, a pure heart, is required in order to see Abba.
Only those who are like Him can see Him.
Yeshua (Jesus) said,“He who has seen Me has seen the Father.”
Sons can see Abba in a sense that no one else can.
Sons can see Abba in creation.
Another way we see Him is in our own experiences.
The most amazing thing ever said to man is that I will see Him face-to-face.
If we grasped this it would revolutionize our life.
I am being prepared to enter the presence of the King.
Do I believe it?
Do I realize that I will see Him face-to-face?
The pure in heart will see God.
Can I grasp this at all?
The only way to have a clean heart is to allow the Holy Spirit to come into me and cleanse me.
Abba is dealing with me and my heart is being cleansed.
I am going to see God!
Is this not the biggest, most momentous, most tremendous thing I have ever been told?
The time is short and I do not have long to prepare.
Am I not ashamed at this moment that I am wasting my time on things that not only will be of no value on that great occasion, but of which I will then be ashamed?
This is a dead serious summary of chapter 10 in Studies in the Sermon on the Mount by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones.
