“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. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it"
◄ 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (KJV)
Congratulations and welcome to the second week of November 2024. Last week, we began a series titled: Understanding Pathways to Sanctification, and in Part 1 of the series, we established that sanctification is the Holy Spirit's work, shaping, molding, and making us more like Christ in character and conduct.
Continuing with the series, I'll begin by saying that in a world tainted by sin and darkness, where evil lurks around every corner, there's a call to rise above the chaos. It is a call to sanctification; a call to holiness.
To walk in sanctification, believers must crave the Spirit's enduement (Rom. 1:4/ Rom. 8:13/Mat. 5:6), engage the Power of the Blood of Jesus Christ for rescue and redemption (Revelation 12:11); and continually fellowship with the saints to strengthen their faith and help them persevere in holiness (Hebrews 10:25).
Living a sanctified life secures peace and serenity for the believer (Isa.32:17-18/Isa.59:8/Pro.28:1) and guarantees divine honor (2 Tim. 2:19-21) so as I sign off this week, I pray that "the God of peace will sanctify you wholly; and that your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Thessalonians 5:23)
Be Sanctified!
