Paul wrote in Titus chapter 1 by THE SPIRIT:
15 To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.
We who are classified as “pure” believe and embrace all of FATHER’S Word rather than the flattering words of those who are defiled. It is so important to be well-versed in The Word and have an understanding of FATHER’S Divine Intent. When that is the case, we cannot be swayed from the purity of The Word. If we have a pure heart, our thoughts will be pure.
Those who are impure will be known by their works even though they will attempt to take our focus away by rationalizing why their “word” did not come to pass.
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 5:
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
This Truth ought to be an incentive for any believer to purify the heart. Jesus accepted the responsibility to minister to the wife (church) when Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Ephesians chapter 5:
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,
26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.
FATHER’S Word will cleanse us of all unrighteousness as we read, study, and ponder it in our lives. The Word itself is a purifier and will remove all spots and wrinkles. None of us start our walk spotless but we rely on FATHER’S Word to bring forth the purity each of us desires.
