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.

Simplicity in Christ #3
As the very Word of God (2Ti 3:16). Scripture is divine revelation;
It is inspired and accurately recorded. Jesus referred to Isaiah (Mat 13:14; 2Pe 1:21);
Scripture needs to be taken literally (Mat 21:42, Mat 4:4); it has authority over us;
The Word of God is eternal in nature (Joh 10:35; Mat 24:35);
The Bible has a united theme, namely, redemption (Luk 24:27);
The Word is powerful and relevant to us now (Joh 4:10, Joh 7:38; Heb 4:12).
It may appear contradictory to us; the problem is in us; it began with the Fall (Luk 8:11).
