What does the Bible say about purifying oneself?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that those with a hope in Christ purify themselves just as He is pure (1 John 3:3).

In 1 John 3:3, the Apostle John declares that every man who has this hope in him purifies himself as Christ is pure. This purification is a reflection of the transformative work God does in the hearts of believers. It's not about self-generated holiness but about recognizing our reliance on Christ’s completed work. The believer, recognizing their sinful nature, looks to Christ for purity and sanctification through faith. This hope in Christ compels believers to strive for holiness in their lives, understanding that true purity originates from Him alone.
