Purity Is A Process
Who shall go up into the hill of YHWH? And who shall rise in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity and has not sworn deceit. He shall lift up the blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of those seeking Him; they seek Your face, O God of Jacob. Selah. (Psalms 24:3-6)
The goal of believers must be living pure service. Purity is defined as clear, clean, fair, bright, unadulterated, uncontaminated, innocent, modest, chaste, and unmixed.
Those who strive toward the mark must display good works, a clean heart and good motives. We cannot live like the world and expect not to be tainted. We cannot compartmentalize our life with purity only on Sabbath and worldly the other 6 days.
There are many areas of daily living that must be examined for purity. When we examine these areas of our life we must determine if the elements are clear, clean, fair, bright, unadulterated, uncontaminated, innocent, modest, chaste, and unmixed.

Pure and undefiled religion before the Elohim and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their afflictions, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. (James 1:27)
Truly, all things are pure to the pure, but to the ones being defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but even their mind and conscience has been defiled. They profess to know YHWH, but by their works they deny Him, being abominable and disobedient, and worthless to every good work. (Titus 1:15-16)
