Today, Red from Overly Sarcastic Productions, a YouTube channel I follow, posted a video about the trope of characters who are Pure in Heart, and the thing is, apart from newborns and fictional characters, I'm not sure anybody is or can be that pure. Sure, people can be good, but nobody is perfect. We all have some darkness in our hearts. Everyone gets tempted, and everyone occasionally gives in to temptation. None of us are completely pure in heart.
Yet, I imagine that we might become pure in heart. Through the power of the Atonement, we can be cleansed, sanctified, and perhaps even purified. And, through our righteousness and our presence in the Celestial Kingdom, we can remain pure and free from temptation, for if only the righteous are allowed to enter the Celestial Kingdom, there will be no impure being there to tempt us.
Very few people on Earth are pure in heart, and no one who lives long remains pure, but through our faith and faithfulness and the grace and Atonement of Christ, we can become pure in heart and remain perfectly pure forever.
