God Desires A Second Touch Of The Believer’s Heart
Saturday 17th January
Text: Romans 7: 22-23
Key Verse: Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth. John 17:17.
God comes again to the believer and says, "Give Me your heart." You are following God already but have noticed that there are some inner tensions in you? Have you noticed that although, the work of salvation has been done in you, you have not seen the perfection as it should be? There are still some struggles within. You struggle, you pray, yet you experience some forces within you and once in a while they overcome you. You see in some degree, not in the sense it works in sinners. The adamic nature, inbred sin or inner depravity pulls on your heart, but it is cleansed at Sanctification. God does things line upon line, precept upon precept. He did the first one, you do not commit adultery or steal anymore. There is something that needs to be done in that heart again, and that is called sanctification.
Jesus called the twelve disciples, and they walked with Him for three and half years on earth. There were many other disciples of Jesus: men and women that heard and obeyed His words. Jesus prayed to the Father concerning the disciples thus: “Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth. As Thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also send them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word.”
These people were already born again, followed Jesus for some years but needed an experience of grace to make them better and holy Christians, fully victorious over sin. What was needed is Sanctification. Jesus prayed this prayer for all believers in Christ. "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word." That means, to believe in Christ and be born again is different from to be sanctified. This is very clear. Everybody who believes in Christ needs Sanctification, which is a second package that goes along with salvation.
Thought For The Day: Sanctification improves your holiness.
