Sin, the great blindness!!!

MATTHEW 5 : 8 NKJV 8  Blessed  are  the pure in heart,      For they shall see God. So those who are not pure in heart can not see God. Does this mean that a person who can not physically see God is not pure in heart? I believe that it means that the more pure a person's heart is, the more that that person can know God. What then is it to be pure in heart? How then can one become pure in heart if they are not already? PROVERBS 23 : 26 NKJV 26  My son, give me your heart, And let your eyes observe my ways.

Verse 15 says that it is not okay to sin. In fact, if one indeed sins, then that one is not under grace but will be judged according to the law. Sin is deliberate disobedience to God.  MATTHEW 5, 6, 7. NKJV Matthew 5 New King James Version (NKJV) The Beatitudes 5  And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him.  2  Then He opened His mouth and taug
