Every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.
What hope? The hope of the Lord’s return! This should make us want to stay pure. The Lord is going to take us to a place of absolute purity. The Lord is pleased when He sees His own seeking to live a pure life while they are waiting for Him to come. Make a special effort to clean up your thoughts, your actions, your words, your relationships so that you will be conformed to the image of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is pure through and through. Our desire should be to be that way too.
