Working on a pure heart

Eric Jones shares some thoughts on keeping the heart pure:

Let me start out by emphatically stating that the only way we can ever have a pure heart is to

invite Jesus to reside, rule, and reign inside our hearts. He alone is the essence of purity and holiness. So, there’s no hope for a pure heart without God.

But know that in Christ, we now have the ability and responsibility to actively pursue this progressive work of developing a pure heart. “I can do all things through Christ…” My heart can be purified. I am called to "work out my salvation with fear and trembling.” I am called to work on my heart.
