Pure hearts clean hands how to#

I think about this picture in Psalm Chapter 22, “Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? Who has clean hands?” I guess I would just ask you the question as we meditate on this verse, are your hands clean before God? I would encourage you to examine your heart. In Christ, we can ascend the hill of the Lord and stand in His holy place. None of us can stand before God on our own merit.

Pure hearts clean hands how to#

For god sake, wash your hands.” Psalm 24:3–4 Shows Us How to Reach God I’m not asking you to do anything world-shaking. I’ve shown how it can be prevented, I’ve proven all I’ve said, but while we talk, talk, gentlemen, women are dying. He said, and I quote, “This fever is caused by decomposed material conveyed to a womb. All you have to do is wash your hands, but people around him didn’t believe him and he was speaking to a convention to his colleagues one time. They would just wash their hands and they would go from the morgue to the birthing room and they dropped the death rate in their area from one in six to one in fifty. They didn’t understand germs in that time so doctors would go from morgues were they would prepare dead bodies for burial directly into the birthing rooms to deliver babies, and they started to experiment with a chlorine situation.

He started to study and found something today that we would think is appalling. He wanted to find out why all these women were dying. I heard an illustration once that I’m reminded of in this verse. Ignaz Semmelweis was born in 1818 into a world of dying women, so one in every six women were dying in childbirth and he became a doctor.

“Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord, and who shall stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false, and does not swear deceitfully.”
