All born-again Christians are pure in heart. It's the same reason why all water is wet. It's the very nature of it.
Thank God that the gospel of the grace of Christ has given us believers a new heart which is pure because it is in Christ!
I believe that scripture teaches that we have new hearts now in Christ as a new creation in Him.
In the Old Testament David cried out prophetically - looking into this New Covenant and sais - "Create in me a clean heart O God". Jesus Himself says to "clean up the inside of the cup and the vessel will be clean".
We don't need to search our hearts for wrong things - we need to have our minds renewed to the truth of Christ living in us now.
It's the flesh that "speaks" to us as all the "works" in Gal 5 are from the flesh. We are not "in the flesh" as Paul says in Romans 8:9 - but we are "in the Spirit" - our inner man in Christ.
We need as Christians to learn to live from this new heart that was "created" in us because of Christ's finished work for us.
I firmly believe we are confusing the "desires of the flesh which still has the law of sin in it" ( Romans 7:23 ) and wrongly calling it our heart.

It blows my mind how false doctrine is spouted off & nobody notices.
Folks will argue over little things & let this pass right on thru.
Straining at gnats & swallowing camels.
So, G777, since we have a new heart, it's a pure heart & will forever remain pure?
King Saul proved that's not true. He was given a new heart & look at what he done with it.
And look at you & your "friends" on here..... false religion that is slowly changing, getting worse, & you claim all of them have pure hearts.
Fruits alone says that's a crock of bull.
All christians were given a new heart at conversion..... but it can be defiled. It can be hardened.
Just take a look around..... at all of these "pure" hearts.
It's not working, G777.
