From the Treasury of David on Psalm 51:10

Verse 10. Create in me a clean heart, O God, etc. This "creation" is from nothing. David uses the same word of our creation which Moses uses of "the creation of the heaven and the earth." Our creation "in Jesus Christ" is no mere strengthening of our powers, no mere aiding of our natural weakness by the might of the grace of God, it is not a mere amendment, improvement of our moral habits; it is a creation out of nothing, of that which we had not before. There was nothing in us whereof to make it. We were decayed, corrupt, dead in trespasses and sins. What is dead becometh not alive, except by the infusion of what it had not. What is corrupt receiveth not soundness, save by passing away itself and being replaced by a new production. "The old man" passeth not into the new man, but is "put off." It is not the basis of the new life, but a hindrance to it. It must be "put off" and the new man "put on, "created in Christ Jesus. E. B. Pusey, D.D., 1853.

I am amazed by this...God's master creation of a heart whiter than snow. God remembers Kurt Steele's sin no more. He does not remember your sin either
if you put your trust in Jesus Christ. It is not up to our personal performance but His performance. Let go and come with me to Calvary...run to the cross of Calvary.

God draws us to the cross where victory comes. Thanks to Christ Jesus who has strengthened me because He has considered me faithful putton me into service even though I formerly was a blasphemer, persecutor, and violent aggressor...wonderful words from I Timothy 1. The word "formerly" is beautiful. What I was is not the issue...it is what I have become in HIM.

David sinned he fell into adultery with Basheba and he murdered. Paul was a blasphemer. Peter was a blasphemer and denied Christ 3 times. YET, Kurt Steele, Paul and Peter found mercy. How about you?
