How do we know that believers are commanded to keep pure?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are commanded to keep pure because Christ calls us to obedience and offers real transformation.

The command to keep ourselves pure stems from multiple scriptural admonitions that focus on the holiness expected from believers. 1 Timothy 5:22 explicitly charges believers to keep themselves pure, a directive that echoes throughout Scripture. This command is built on the foundation of the gospel and the transformation that occurs in the heart of a true believer. As we embrace our identity in Christ, with a new heart given at our new birth, we are empowered to pursue holiness and reject sin. Our purity is ultimately a reflection of Christ’s purity, which is imputed to us through faith.
