Sanctifier
If You’re Tired of Sinning
I wish I wouldn’t sin. I long for the day when I’m perfected in Christ’s image. How about you? Do you ever tire of your impatience, bad habit, or perhaps careless word? The fact is, as long as we’re in our earthly bodies, we’ll contend with our sin nature. As a matter of fact, not only will we contend with it, Galatians 5:17 says “the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; that they’re in opposition to one another…” So we have this little, um, big war going on inside of us. Here’s the wonderful news recorded in 1 Thessalonians 5:23. God in His grace has chosen to SANCTIFY us, to set us apart for Himself as holy, without blame. Think about it! What we can’t do for ourselves, God has done and will continue to do. We who call upon the name of the Lord will one day live in heaven completely holy because of Christ. Does knowing that cause you to want to lift your voice in praise to God?
Heavenly Father, Sanctifier, thank You for setting us apart for Yourself and for taking it upon Yourself to sanctify us completely and without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are so ready!
“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.”

Does knowing that cause you to want to kneel in awe, stand with arms lifted in praise, or sing His praises? Whichever, give Him praise now.
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 are so ready!

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!
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.”
1 Thessalonians 5:23
I wish I wouldn’t sin any more. I long for the day when I don’t mess up. I can’t imagine how freeing that would feel. But, it’s impossible! Or, is it? The fact is, it’s NOT impossible and it will happen to those who have called on Jesus for salvation. How is it possible? God has chosen, by His grace, to sanctify us. That means he has set us apart as His; and as His, He has also taken the taken the responsibility to make sure our holiness comes to completion. That’s something to shout about!
God, I praise You, my SANCTIFIER. Thank You for setting me apart for Yourself and for taking it upon Yourself to sanctify me complete and without blame at the coming of my Lord Jesus Christ.
