"To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; even their mind and conscience are defiled." Titus 1:15
The condition of our hearts is expressed through the way we live our lives. It will be evident by our attitudes, our words and our behavior. Jesus said, 'you can only see others clearly when your own eyes are unobstructed.' Therefore, if our vision is hindered by sin, we will not look at others properly. If our hearts are pure, we will approach life without malice. We will not question the motives of others and we will not constantly look for fault in others. However, if our hearts are defiled, everything we are involved in will seem corrupt as well. We will be cynical about what we hear because our words will be deceitful. And we will be drawn to evil people and evil things. Having a pure heart will not make us perfect. But it will help us to be more patient and kind to those around us... because we will see them through God's eyes, not our own.
