Sanctification Of The Heart
Wednesday 11th March
Text: Matthew 12:33-35.
Key Verse: "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God."
The Bible teaches that when you make the heart clean, the mouth will also be clean. The heart is the seat of life and thoughts, and from the heart proceed good and evil thoughts. The mouth speaks what the heart supplies. The members of the body are directed by the heart. The heart controls all actions, what you do and what you should not do, what you should take and what you should not take; whether you should love God or not love Him, is from the heart. God is giving attention to your heart to make that heart clean and holy. If that happens, the righteousness and holiness He is looking for from you will be possible. The heart is the seat and headquarters of man. It is from the heart that the blood is pumped to all parts of the body. The heart directs the other members of the body to do evil or good works. Sanctification is the second work of grace of God in your life, after salvation from the power of sin and Satan. Without sanctification, no holiness, and without holiness, no heaven. “But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
When the heart is purged from all filthiness and impurities, then the experience of sanctification will be possible. The sanctification that Jesus prayed for the brethren is not just dedication, because they were already dedicated, in the sense that they had left all and were following Jesus, completely consecrated and dedicated to God. However, purification of a believer from the remains of sin to make him holy, clean, pure, and undefiled within is what is required in the heart. It involves a deep transformation of the heart, where an individual's inner life is aligned with God's will, and they are enabled to live a life of righteousness and obedience. Transformation is a change of heart and mind, resulting in a life that reflects God's character. A sanctified heart is pure and holy, free from sin and impurities. It is a transformation of the heart where one's thoughts, feelings, and desires are aligned with God's will.
