A dead wife cannot please her husband
"Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure.
But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and
unbelieving, because their minds and consciences
are defiled." Titus 1:15
Until the heart is pure—all our holy things (that is—our
religious duties) are polluted. They are but splendid sins!
Under the law, whatever a leper touched was unclean.
If he had touched the altar or sacrifice, the altar would
not cleanse him—but he would defile the altar.
A filthy hand defiles the purest water. Just so, an
impure heart defiles all religious duties—he drops
poison upon them all.
A pure stream running through muddy ground, is polluted.
Just so, the holiest duties, running through an impure heart,
are polluted. A sinner's works are called "dead works" (Heb.
6:1). And those works which are dead, cannot please God.
A dead wife cannot please her husband.
