This is the will of God, your sanctification . . . —1 Thessalonians 4:3
Am I really willing to be sanctified? He completed everything for my salvation and sanctification. No wonder Paul said that nothing “shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:39). Do I really want the change that sanctification brings? I am truly ready to turn from the things that hinder that process? Am I really willing to completely let go and let God?
Sanctification makes me one with Jesus Christ. It is possible only through the magnificent atonement of Christ. Yet my consent is constantly required. My willingness to completely accept God’s will for me. Am I willing?
If I say that I am willing but sanctification is not occurring, then I am lying. His part is done and complete. The process only awaits God’s Will becoming my will.
Be blessed.
