Anon, although growing, improving and forgiving are admirable, there is no possibility to become pure through human effort. Ascending to godhood through individual effort is the common theme of all the world's religions, and it is a lie. In spite of all one's best efforts, one will still possess a sinful nature (it will betray your efforts of godliness on a daily basis - you know this to be true if you are honest with yourself). The only path to righteousness has been provided by God Himself through Christ - "No man comes to the Father but through Me."
