Jesus told His disciples in John 15:3 that they were cleansed by His Word. And in the gospel of Luke he says:
"Oh you Pharisees! Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, inside you are filled with plunder and evil. You fools! Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside? But as to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you.”One could say we are cleansed by his Word because to know Him is to love him, which forms one half of the great command to love God and love others. And to give alms means to love others, forming the second half.
