Sanctification!

My soul-friend, O.C., said "Sancticifcation means being made one with Jesus. Sanctification is not something Jesus puts in me— it is Himself in me."

Consider 1 Corinthians 1:30-31 (NIV) -- 30 It is because of God that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."

Finally, let's listen together to the words that Jesus prayed to His Father as His High Priestly Prayer was concluding just hours before He went to the Cross to be crucified for us so that we might also be also crucified with Him.

John 17, verse 19, Jesus praying: For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified. And then in verse 26, hear the final seven words of Jesus' prayer to the Father prayer concerning what He wanted for Himself and for us: ...that I myself may be in them.

Yes, oneness with us is what Jesus knows He wants and oneness with Him is what Jesus knows we need. So, sanctification surely means being freed from all Sin and made one with just Him... by faith. Do we believe it?

Do we want what He wants more than we want anything? Do we want what Jesus wants for Himself and for us? God the Son's prayer to God the Father still echoes endlessly: ...that I myself may be in them. Sanctification!

ALL JOY!
