Are We Willing to Pay the Price to Be Sanctified?  

3/18/2006 6:37 am
"May the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely..." 1 Thess. 5:23

To be sanctified means to be set apart for God's use. Many of us want to be used by God, but are we willing to pay the price in order for Him to be able to use us? Sanctified Christians are not permitted to go many places that normal Christians go. They can't do things that normal Christians do. To be sanctified requires that we turn our affections from earthly things and even relationships to heavenly ones. Sanctification means that we recognize that we have been bought with a price and we are not our own. We are willing to become living sacrifices - dead to our own wants and desires and alive to God's. Only those who have allowed God to sanctify them will be used greatly by God. I don't know about anyone else, but I say that everyday is a good day to die more to myself so that I can live more for God and His purposes!
