Sanctified

By faith we are forgiven, we are justified and we are sanctified. It is “just as if” we never sinned. The sanctification process is life-long and it is God’s work. We were and are sin-filled, but God sent His Son.

And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:11

Believing in Jesus as Savior finds us living with a new kind of peace and joy, soul-deep and eternal. The Holy Spirit will continue to guide us into less worry, less anger, less bitterness and into more kindness, goodness, love, joy and peace. Sound impossible? Ask the Spirit to fill you today, to guide you today, to empower you today. And He will do it!

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22023

Lord,

We ask for Your help as we continue to be sanctified through the work of the Spirit within us. The peace and joy you offer are available to us now and forevermore. Help us to accept this soul-deep peace and embrace it.

In Jesus name,

Amen
