Answer 2

The Egyptian Book of the Dead says that to tell a pure heart, once a person reaches the underworld, their heart is weighed against the Feather of Truth by Anubis. If the heart weighs more than the Feather, then their heart is impure and is fed to a beast known as the Devourer. If the heart weighs less or the same as the feather then they are allowed to enter paradise.

Answer 3

Psalm 51. Those who confess their sins with a witness strive towards having a pure heart. ("Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective".) - James 5:16

This is why confessing our sins is so important: the Holy Spirit is like a sharp triangle in our hearts and convicts us of our sins. When we acknowledge that we have sinned and confess it, the points of the triangle will continue to prick us when we do wrong. If we choose to ignore the prompting of the Holy Spirit, that triangle point becomes blunt and eventually we do not feel the prick.

In my personal opinion, I see people most like Jesus as showing the fruits of the spirit (Matt 7:20), which is love, patience, peace, self control, joy, gentleness, etc.

"Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace". - James 3:18

Answer 4

A pure heart would be someone who has no hate in their heart. Someone who is nonjudging, simplistic, someone who has no wreckage in their past that they haven't delt with. It would be someone who doesn't let the seven deadly sins make him stray.
