Sanctification is the process whereby God sets apart a person, place or thing in order that His purposes might be accomplished in them. God sanctifies the tabernacle (Exodus 29:43) and even a day (Genesis 2:3). The process of sanctification in the believer is especially important for us. Basically, it's how God is making you and I more and more holy like Himself. Special Note *If you are expecting sanctification to be like the fast food drive-in, I'm afraid you might be in line for a while.
Check out Philippians 2:1-18. Read it. Meditate on it. Listen to what God is saying.
1. Who makes sure sanctification happens in the believer? (Verse 13)
2. Who plays an active role to "will and to act?" (Verse 13)
I close with a prayer for you as you continue this work with the Holy Spirit:
"May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."
1 Thessalonians 5:23
