Praise to Our SANCTIFIER
“Now may the God of peace Himself SANCTIFY you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
I wish I wouldn’t sin any more. I long for the day in heaven when I don’t. But as long as we live in our earthly bodies, as much as we long to be perfect, we’ll deal with our in-born sin nature. The good news is that God has chosen, by His grace, to SANCTIFY us. That means He has set us apart as His. He has also taken it upon Himself to make sure that we’re perfect. Think about it. You and all who call upon the name of the Lord will one day live together in His presence – sinless. Does knowing that cause you to want to kneel in awe or stand with arms lifted in praise?
God, we praise You, our SANCTIFIER. Thank You for setting us apart for Yourself and for taking it upon Yourself to sanctify us complete and without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We can’t wait!
