COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

8. Draw nigh to God —So "cleave unto Him," Deuteronomy 30:20 , namely, by prayerfully ( James 4:2 ; James 4:3 ) "resisting Satan," who would oppose our access to God. he will draw nigh —propitious. Cleanse . . . hands —the outward instruments of action. None but the clean-handed can ascend into the hill of the Lord (justified through Christ, who alone was perfectly so, and as such "ascended" thither). purify . . . hearts —literally "make chaste" of your spiritual adultery ( James 4:3- : , that is, worldliness) "your hearts": the inward source of all impurity. double-minded —divided between God and the world. The "double-minded" is at fault in heart; the sinner in his hands likewise. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-9" class="com-number"
