The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

A Biblical Understanding of Purity, Pt 2

The source of purity is the unified righteousness of Christ alone; that is, it is His life and death alone that is the essence of divine purity.  Everyone who is to stand before the Father is to possess this unified merit.

A Pure Heart
Psalm 24:4 KJV
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
 
A Pure Mind
2 Peter 3:1
This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

A Pure Conscience 
1 Timothy 3:9 KJV
Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

Pure Words
Zephaniah 3:9 KJV
For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent.

Washed With Pure Water
Hebrews 10:22 KJV
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
