"A theoretical knowledge of the truth is essential. But the knowledge of the greatest truth will not save us; our knowledge must be practical... The truth must be brought into their hearts, sanctifying and cleansing them from all earthliness and sensuality in the most private life. The soul temple must be cleansed." Review & Herald 5/24/1887 E.G.W.
So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and
humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to
save your souls.
James 1:21 NLT
