Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.
Another instruction, calling for our obedient participation response. To cleanse myself requires that I pay particular attention to those portions of my life that exhibit defilement,and scrub those elements in the restorative power of prayer and study of the Living Word. The analogy of using prayer to invoke the Holy Spirit as the Lord's scrub brush, using tthe Word, to cleanse and restore is not too far-fetched.
