What does it mean to cleanse ourselves from filthiness?

Answered in 1 source

To cleanse ourselves from filthiness refers to separating from influences that pollute our spiritual lives and pursuing holiness through Christ.

Cleansing ourselves from filthiness involves actively removing anything that might stain or corrupt our relationship with God, as highlighted in 2 Corinthians 7:1. This involves a conscious effort to avoid influences—whether from false teaching or sinful practices—that can lead us away from the truth of the gospel. The call to perfect holiness is an invitation to embrace the spiritual cleansing provided through faith in Jesus Christ, recognizing that our sanctification is a work of the Holy Spirit in us. It acknowledges our total inability to achieve holiness through self-effort, and instead encourages us to rely on Christ’s righteousness for our standing before God.
