Bible Comments

Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

Who can say (with truth), I have made my heart clean. Nay, we ought to say, "Create in me a clean heart, O God" (Psalms 51:10.)

I am pure from my sin? Contrast Job 15:14; Job 25:4. In a relative sense a man may say, by faith in the Redeemer, 'I am pure from the guilt of sin' (Psalms 73:13).
