If only the pure in heart shall see God, it behooves us to ask, “How can we purify our hearts?” The bad news is there’s nothing we can do. There’s no amount of penitence or good deeds that can make our sinful heart clean. But the good news is that God does for us what we can never do for ourselves! He creates in us a pure heart and He renews in us a right spirit (Psalm 51:10). 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.”
— 1 John 1:7
Lord Jesus, do for us what we cannot do for ourselves. Amen.
