Question:
What is the ruling on the one who, when he commits a sin and is advised, says: "The most important thing is the purity of the heart?"
Answer:
Yes, and this is what is required: the purity of the heart. The purity of the heart is achieved by leaving off sin. The one who does not leave off sin does not have a pure heart; if his heart were pure, he would have left off sins.Sahih al-Bukhari 52. So sins are evidence of the corruption of the heart, and acts of obedience are evidence of the soundness of the heart. Yes.

There is a piece of flesh in the body if it becomes good (reformed) the whole body becomes good but if it gets spoilt the whole body gets spoilt and that is the heart.
إن في الجسد مضغة إذا صلحت صلح الجسد كله، وإذا فسدت فسد الجسد كله، ألا وهي القلب
