Blessed
(happy, enviably fortunate, and spiritually prosperous—possessing the happiness
produced by the experience of God’s favor and especially conditioned by the
revelation of His grace, regardless of their outward conditions) are the
pure in heart, for they shall see God! Matthew 5:8
For both He Who
sanctifies [making men holy] and those who are sanctified all have one [Father]. For this reason He is not
ashamed to call them brethren; Hebrews 2:11
Who were chosen and
foreknown by God the Father and consecrated (sanctified, made holy) by the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus
Christ (the Messiah) and to be sprinkled with [His] blood: May grace (spiritual
blessing) and peace be given you in increasing abundance [that spiritual peace
to be realized in and through Christ, freedom from fears, agitating passions,
and moral conflicts]. 1 Peter 1:2
But it is from Him that you
have your life in Christ Jesus, Whom God made our Wisdom from God, [revealed to
us a knowledge of the divine plan of salvation previously hidden, manifesting
itself as] our Righteousness [thus making us upright and putting us in right
standing with God], and our Consecration [making us pure and holy], and our Redemption [providing our ransom from
eternal penalty for sin]. 1 Corinthians 1:30
So that He may strengthen
and confirm and establish your hearts faultlessly pure and unblamable in
holiness in the sight of our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ (the Messiah) with all His saints (the holy and glorified
people of God)! Amen, (so be it)! 1 Thessalonians 3:13
And may the God of peace
Himself sanctify you through and through [separate you from profane
things, make you pure and wholly
consecrated to God]; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and
complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the
Messiah). 1 Thessalonians 5:22
Well I guess once again we
cannot help but to be blessed.
