Dear friend,
The usefulness of a substance lies in the knowledge of its properties in the pure state. The pure state is one unmixed with anything else - purely by itself with no other "impurities". By "impurities" we mean any other substances. We may regard impure substances as being at "fault." To be without fault is to be pure.
Who but God, the Mighty Creator, is qualified to find fault in any substance? Who knows the pure state of a substance better than God?
About the people of God, Revelation 14:5 reveals that "They are without fault before the throne of God." Are God's people really that pure before the throne of God when He sits in judgment? When God's children claim that they have not sinned, God's Word rebukes that they are deceiving themselves an the truth is not in them. (1Jo. 1:8) So, how can sinful people ever be regarded as pure? Only God can make the impure pure again because He alone is their Creator and knows what it is all about!
"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger forever, because he delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea." (Mic. 7:18, 19) "He hath made us accepted in the beloved. — To present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight." (Eph. 1:6; Col. 1:22)
"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." (Matthew 5:8) Who is solely responsible for our pure state one day? To Him be all the glory and praise. (Jude 24, 25)
