How does God keep His church pure?

Answered in 1 source

God keeps His church pure through biblical leadership, sound doctrine, and the active defense against error.

God’s method for ensuring the purity of the church involves the appointment of qualified biblical leaders who are tasked with teaching sound doctrine and protecting the congregation from false teachings. As noted in Titus 1:9, it is critical for these leaders to hold fast to the faithful word so they can effectively exhort and refute falsehood. This process not only involves maintaining doctrinal integrity but also shepherding the flock by instilling a biblical understanding of purity in the lives of believers. Additionally, the church is called to be vigilant against external and internal threats, often identified as the wolves in sheep's clothing that Jesus warned about. By fostering a culture of accountability and exposing error, God protects and purifies His church through the diligent work of faithful leaders.
