Love of God finds expression in love of others. We cannot give like God, but we can and must learn to forgive like Him and be merciful. We are all encouraged to read and commit to our hearts the response that he gave. He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully. He shall receive a blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
Gold is only pure when there are no alloys present.
In order to purify our hearts, our efforts should be directed towards seeking God's way rather than pursuing the inclination toward sin in the nature of man. The intention is that we endeavour to reject all forms of evil in our lives, not just some. Our Heavenly Father knows that this is difficult. A study of God's Word on the subject of peace, quickly reveals that peace-makers in God's sight are not simply those who run around trying to make truces providing peace among other parties. Before the follower of Christ can make peace within and among others, he must quieten his own restless spirit.
