Grace Both Pardons and Purifies
Commentators like Spurgeon and Henry highlight that this verse is the natural result of the "fountain for sin" in verse 1. God's grace doesn't just forgive our sin (justification); it actively cleanses us from sin's power and presence (sanctification). As one scholar puts it, "We cannot have our sins and have a Saviour too." True salvation involves turning away from the idols of our hearts.
