Create a Pure Heart
Excerpt
The Heb. word “create” does not mean to make something from nothing. Instead, it means to originate and is frequently used when an O.T. writer wishes to affirm that God alone is the source of a certain thing. Thus, God created the heavens and the earth, an act far beyond human capacity to duplicate. And it is God who, in extending forgiveness, transforms the inner personality of the believer. We are born in sin, but we are reborn with a pure heart.
