How Does One Attain Purity?
Psalms 119:9
How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.
God’s word is the fire that purifies us, and the pruning that enables us hear more fruit.
John 15:2-4
Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
John 15:7
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
