How do we understand the relationship between faith and purification?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ empowers believers to purify themselves, as true purity comes from Him (1 John 3:3).

In the context of purification, faith plays a crucial role. First John 3:3 emphasizes that it is the hope of seeing Christ that motivates believers to purify themselves. However, this purification does not stem from personal effort; it recognizes reliance on Christ's righteousness. Just as the woman with the issue of blood demonstrated, it’s through faith that one acknowledges their inability to purify themselves and seeks the purity that comes from Christ (Matthew 9:20-22). Thus, the act of purifying oneself is a believer’s response to realizing the transformative power and holiness found in Jesus.
