Is it possible to have a pure heart?

Yes! This line from the lesson answers this question. “God is in the heart purification business.“

How does God bring about a pure heart? What is our part in this? 

God brings about a pure heart through the blood of Jesus. Our part is to fully and completely confess our sins and seek pardon from Him.

Q3a.  It is possible for man to have pure heart by being cleansed and converted then reborn by Calvary's Cross crucified Lamb.When man accepts the Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior the Blood changes man's Adamic nature into a new creation with a pure heart.

Q3b. God brings about a pure heart by the forgiveness of man's sin and by the santification of the redeemed man along with the empowerment of the Holy Spirit which dwells within the redeemed.

Q3c.  Man's role in maintaining a pure heart is to spent time in regular prayer and praise devotion .In engaging in a committed genuine worship of God through Jesus our Lord and Savior. Reading and doing the Word is essential in cultivating purity of spirit because we are in imperfect beings and when we sin..humbling to God for forgiveness and then making atonement to strive to be better in spiritual character lead to create a pure heart in us.

Yes.

If we are sincere in our request for forgiveness, God's forgiveness is what makes us clean. 

Our part is to be sincere and believe that we are forgiven.

1. Is it possible to have a pure heart? Yes, by receiving the truth of God’s word, the truth of who God says we are because of what Jesus did on the cross for us all.

2. How does God bring about a pure heart? By faith in my Lord. If He has made me pure, I am pure, my heart is pure. Sin tries to rob us of this truth wanting to keep us in the lies that we are no longer new creations. But hallelujah we are new creations!

3. What is our part in this? By  .....humbly accepting the word planted in you, which can save you. By not merely listening to the word, and so deceive yourselves. But do what it says for anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do James 1:21b-25

It is possible to have a pure heart because of the Holy Spirit.  When we accept Christ, Scripture tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:17(NIV) that we are a new creation.  Like David, we can ask God to create a pure heart in us. He is the author and finisher of our faith according to Hebrews12:2 (NKJV)...what He begins, He completes.
