Which Beatitude ends with ‘they will see God’?

Which Beatitude ends with ‘they will see God’?

• A. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
• B. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
• C. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
• D. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that inner integrity before God opens the way to truly knowing and perceiving Him. “Pure in heart” means having sincere, unmixed motives—a heart directed toward God without deceit or divided loyalties. When the heart is pure, a person can recognize God’s presence and truth more clearly, and that acute spiritual perception is described as “seeing God.” This is understood both as a growing experience of God's nearness in this life and, ultimately, the full vision of God in the life to come. The other blessings promise different good outcomes—being part of God’s kingdom, receiving comfort, or inheriting the earth—without specifically pointing to seeing God. So the promise that you will see God is uniquely tied to the purity of the heart.
