Christian people are set apart from the world for the work and honour of God on earth. Here are some brief points on the subject of sanctification for you to consider today.
Salvation –1 Corinthians 1:26-31
The process of sanctification starts the moment you come to God as a sinner and confess Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour with a contrite and sincere heart before Him. Do you come to God knowing you need a Saviour? Have you humbled yourself before God?
New Life – 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17
You will find that when you come to Christ your life will start to change for the better. You will have a different outlook on the world and the things that once occupied your time and efforts will no longer be your chief focus. God chooses men and women to come out of the world and live for Him. Repentance is key to true salvation. If there is no repentance there is no salvation. Repentance is a change of heart, mind and will regarding the things of God. You will start to conform your life to the teachings of Scripture.
Ministry – 2 Corinthians 5:17-21
Not everyone is called to full-time ministry, but we are all called to the ministry of preaching the Gospel to the lost. As we grow in grace the Lord will open doors for us to share the Gospel with friends, family and people we come in contact with. As we grow in the grace of sanctification the Lord will give us responsibilities.
Sacrifice – Romans 12:1-2
It is good for us to sacrifice things for the Lord. The greatest thing we can sacrifice for Him is our time. If we spend time in prayer and study of the Word of God you will be blessed for it. God will honour your commitment to Him and will use you for His glory. What have you sacrificed for God today?
