Self Purification

Francis Isibor Snr introduces a programme on self-purification through 1 John 3:1-3. The hope of becoming like Christ calls for an active response rather than leaving to God what believers are asked to do. He places that response within covenant relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, emphasizing the need to understand the life into which Christians have been called. John 1 supplies the account of the Word, life, light and becoming God’s children through receiving Christ. The teaching then connects faith, the Spirit’s work and the promise of likeness to Christ. Colossians 1 presents Christ within believers as the hope of glory, while 1 Peter 2 joins the reception of the word with laying aside malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy and evil speech. The speaker also uses genetic language for this spiritual formation; the analysis follows the devotional point without treating it as established biology. The conclusion gathers the practical emphasis around sustained attention to the word and the Spirit’s illumination. Romans 10, Psalm 1 and Hebrews 12 support hearing, meditation and looking to Jesus as the pattern. Ephesians 1 brings the session to prayer for wisdom, revelation and enlightened understanding of the believer’s hope and inheritance. The final request is to study, make notes, pray and meditate on the teaching as the series continues.
