Experience Of Sanctification For Believers
Thursday 9th April
Text: Ephesians 5:25-27
Key Verse: Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part Thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Psalms 51:5-7
It is commonplace for a believer growing in Christ to have inner struggle with envy, malice, anger, pride, stubbornness, lust, and inner moral weakness, which oftentimes defile him to his embarrassment and sorrow before God and man. The believer is not seen committing sin outwardly. He shows forth clear evidence of salvation from sin. The Spirit bears witness in his heart that he is a child of God, but he notices inner impurity that challenges his total freedom. These are called, Remains of sin, inbred sin or the adamic nature in the believer.” Something needs to be done to usher him into fullness of righteousness, holiness and love in Christ. What is yet required in the believer's life is a Christian or spiritual experience called sanctification.
Jesus prayed for all believers that they may be sanctified so that they may be ushered into full expression of holiness in their lives. Dirty clothes that are washed in a bowl of water need a second washing in another bowl of water, for rinsing, to remove all dirt from them so they may be completely clean. Sanctification experience is for those who are already born again, to make them completely holy before God. Jesus gave Himself for believer's sanctification and holiness. As salvation is received by repentance and faith in Christ, so also sanctification is received by consecration and faith in Christ. Let the believer ask God to sanctify his heart and God shall do it.
“Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it. 1Thessalonians 5:22-24”
Thought For The Day: Pray earnestly for sanctification and God shall do it.
