How do we know God purifies hearts by faith?

Answered in 1 source

We know God purifies hearts by faith because the New Testament consistently emphasizes salvation by grace through faith, as outlined in Ephesians 2:8-9.

The assurance that God purifies hearts by faith is established in scripture, particularly in the New Testament where salvation is declared to be a work of grace received through faith. Ephesians 2:8-9 elucidates this by stating that salvation is not of ourselves but is a gift from God, ensuring that no one can boast of their works. This is reinforced in Acts 15:9, where the apostles assert that God purifies the hearts of believers. It highlights the transformative work of the Holy Spirit and the essential role of faith in receiving God's grace, cleansing us from all unrighteousness. Furthermore, Hebrews 9:14 speaks to the purifying effect of Christ's blood, which is applied to the hearts of the faithful.
