How to Get What You Want
Purity
- Greg Hartnett
Sep. 21
What does it mean to be pure? For some, it sounds old-fashioned or even negative. But in Scripture, purity isn’t about rules or appearances—it’s about wholeness, integrity, and being made new from the inside out. In Mark 7:14–23, Jesus challenges the idea that external rituals can make us clean, pointing instead to the heart as the true source of impurity. Christ alone purifies and restores us, offering a freedom no ritual or self-effort can provide.
