Purity's importance is summed up by our Lord: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" (Matt. 5:8). In the rest of His Sermon on the Mount, Christ teaches that purity of heart and mind is just as important as outward purity. There seems to be a battle for the mind, the eyes, and the heart (Mt 5:8).
