Brethren I want you to thinks of sanctification like spiritual cleansing or soul detox. Just like you wash your body to stay clean, your spirit and character are constantly being “washed” and transformed by God to become more holy and acceptable to him.
What Then Is Sanctification in the Believer’s Life?
Sanctification is the spiritual process by which a believer is made holy, purified, and set apart for God’s purpose. It’s the journey of becoming more like Jesus in character, attitude, and action.
1 Thessalonians 4:3 – “For this is the will of God, your sanctification…”
Remember that according to Hebrews 12:14 “Without holiness, no one will see the Lord.” So, sanctification is not a “bonus level” of your Christianity. It’s a very important thing in the Kingdom of God.
How Does One Become Sanctified?
According to Philippians 2:12–13 It’s not something you can do alone by will power alone, and it’s not something God does without your cooperation. It’s a relationship. In short you have to surrender to God and then God will supply you with the power required to sanctify you. God is more interested in your surrender than your performance.
Holiness is not about being “perfect” in the worldly sense. It means being set apart, fully God’s, and free from sin’s rule over you.
Sanctification is a lifelong journey, not a one-time event. You won’t be perfect, but you will be progressively transformed. Remember that You can’t bribe your way or cheat God to give it you so no man can do it for you expect Christ.
How Does Sanctification Happen?
It’s a process which involves a number of things for instance, you need to read the word, pray, worship, repent, have constant fellowship with the Holy Spirit and learn to be both accountable to men and God.
Let’s Pray:
1. Heavenly Father, I come before You with a humble heart. I confess every sin—known and unknown—and ask for Your mercy. Cleanse me with the blood of Jesus and make me pure again. Restore me, O Lord, and help me walk in righteousness, in Jesus name.
2. O Lord, purify my heart. Cleanse my thoughts, desires, and motives. Remove bitterness, lust, pride, and all that defiles me. Let the fire of Your Holy Spirit burn away every impurity in me, in Jesus name.
