The Scripture makes it very clear that as we focus on purity we experience power from above. Paul stressed this in his final letter to his understudy Timothy. “Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter [i.e., “iniquity”], he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work” (2Ti 2:21). How? The process is simple: God the Father works through the Son. The Son works through the Holy Spirit. The Spirit works through the Word. The Word works through the believer. The believer works through living faith.

Secure In Christ #5
Interpreting the Word of God demands several principles: Unity and consistency of scripture (2Ti 3:16, Jam 2:10-11). What we have in written Word is fulfilled in Christ; He was consistent (Mat 5:17). Context is paramount. Simplicity in interpretation is the most accurate. Keeping interpretation Christ-centered (Joh 1:1-34, Luk 24:27, Luk 24:45).
