It is not that we live pure lives but rather that we know Him who is Pure that causes us to become pure.
Because God is Pure and Holy those who seek Him and love Him, seek to purify their lives even as He is Pure.
We know this, when the day of the resurrection comes we will be raised pure and holy.
All those who have this hope of glory seek to purify their lives even as He is Pure.
He shall purify!  He shall purify!
By crucifying our own desires on the cross we die to our own corrupted wills and are raised into the incorruptible will of God.
By faith, the willingness to abandon our ways in favor of God's ways, we are purified and made holy.
