How does God create a clean heart in believers?

Answered in 1 source

God creates a clean heart through the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer.

The process of creating a clean heart involves regeneration, which is a work solely executed by the Holy Spirit. In Psalm 51:10, David's plea for a clean heart demonstrates the necessity of divine intervention in transformation. According to 2 Corinthians 5:17, anyone in Christ is a new creation; this emphasizes the significance of God's creative act in every believer's life. It is not merely about improving the old nature but receiving a new one entirely, allowing for a renewed spirit that desires righteousness and holiness. The believer's ability to resist sin and pursue godliness can only come from the new nature imparted through regeneration, which occurs at salvation.
