purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that
comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith. James 4:8 Come close
to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify
your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world. 2. Means to Purification Psalms 19:8-9 The
commandments of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the
heart. The commands of the Lord are clear, giving insight for
living. 9 Reverence for the Lord is pure, lasting
forever. The laws of the Lord are true; each one is
fair. 2 Timothy 2:22 Run
from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living,
faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the
Lord with pure hearts. 1 Peter 1:22 You were
cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere
love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all
your heart. 3. A Gracious
Transformation Isaiah 1:18 Come now let
us settle this says the Lord. Though
your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though
they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool. 4. A Pure Religion James 1:27 Pure and
genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and
widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. 5. A Description of the
Word of God Psalms 119:140 Your
promises have been thoroughly tested; that is why I love them so
much. 6. The Glorious Vision of

blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God. 1 John 3:2 Dear
friends, we are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we
will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for
we will see him as he really is. Outline
