• Psalm 51:9-14 – David needed a clean heart.
    • The Bible heart is:
      • Intellect: That with which man understands and believes. It is the intellect of man.
      • Emotion: That with which man loves and hates. Matthew 22:37
      • Willpower: That with which man obeys God. Romans 6:16-17
      • Conscience: The conscience of man – it approves or disapproves of our actions.
    • A heart is purified by a faith that obeys. Acts 10:9; Galatians 5:6; I Peter 1:21
    • David asked for a clean heart to be created within himself first. We must also look to purify ourselves. Colossians 3:17; Philippians 4:8
    • Psalms 51:11-12 - What we must do to be able to pray this prayer:
      • We must have the disposition to draw nigh to God. James 4:8
      • We must exercise self-discipline. I Corinthians 9:27
      • Refuse to go beyond the doctrine of Christ. II John 9
