“Sanctified in Christ Jesus.” — 1 Corinthians 1:2

“Through sanctification of the Spirit.” — 1 Peter 1:2

To move from our wickedness to accept His presence to fill us and surround us and possess us all in all. It is to move from the darkest night into the purity of light. This is God’s gift of sanctification to us. We are washed in the cleansing blood of the Savior. His Work we do not deserve but we simply surrender to Him and His presence.

Can you Accept this great gift?

   To be set apart of God’s honor?

      To have a new heart?

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 

(Philippians 2:15

[8] And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you. (Leviticus 20:7-8

As believers who have been sanctified through Christ’s grace the Holy Spirit works within you so that you will begin living in sanctification.  

1689 Baptist London Confession of Faith

They who are united to Christ, effectually called, and regenerated, having a new heart and a new spirit created in them through the virtue of Christ's death and resurrection, are also farther sanctified, really and personally,1 through the same virtue, by his Word and Spirit dwelling in them;2 the dominion of the whole body of sin is destroyed,3 and the several lusts of it are more and more weakened and mortified,4 and they more and more quickened and strengthened in all saving graces,5 to the practice of all true holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.6 1 Acts 20:32; Rom. 6:5–6

2 John 17:17; Eph. 3:16–19; 1 Thess. 5:21–23

3 Rom. 6:14

4 Gal. 5:24

5 Col. 1:11

6 2 Cor. 7:1; Heb. 12:14

Paragraph 2

This sanctification is throughout the whole man,7 yet imperfect in this life; there abides still some remnants of corruption in every part,8 wherefrom arises a continual and irreconcilable war; the flesh lusting against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh.9

7 1 Thess. 5:23

8 Rom. 7:18,23

9 Gal. 5:17; 1 Pet. 2:11

Paragraph 3

In which war, although the remaining corruption for a time may much prevail,10 yet, through the continual supply of strength from the sanctifying Spirit of Christ, the regenerate part does overcome;11 and so the saints grow in grace, perfecting holiness in the fear of God, pressing after an heavenly life, in evangelical obedience to all the commands which Christ as Head and King, in his Word has prescribed to them.

10 Rom. 7:23

11 Rom. 6:14

12 Eph. 4:15–16; 2 Cor. 3:18, 7:1
