How can we purify ourselves according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that we purify ourselves by looking to Christ in faith and obeying the truth through the Spirit.

The Bible provides clear directives on how believers can engage in purification. First, by beholding the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ, as articulated in 2 Corinthians 3:18, believers are transformed into His image. This beholding must be accompanied by faith, leading to a deeper understanding of God's character and our own identity in Him. Additionally, as 1 Peter 1:22 emphasizes, believers purify their souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit, which encompasses faith in God's Word and a commitment to live according to its truths. Therefore, purification is a cooperative work involving both divine enabling and human responsibility.
