Hello Friends,It  is Perez again. Continuing with  our yesterday's sharing, Sanctification in summary is God's Will for Us a Progressive and continuous process of being made holy  by God himself.

 

Sanctification is the procedure by which we become holy. It's the process that God has designed to conform us into His image, so that we can experience His Life through us and His presence in us. (1 Thessalonians 4:3; 2 Thessalonians 2:13) In other words, in order to know Him intimately and experience His Life, we must first be sanctified (be made holy)-body, soul and spirit. 
Thus, sanctification is simply the means by which we are set apart, separated or consecrated from anything that is unholy.
Scripture tells us that when we accept Christ into our hearts, we are "positionally" sanctified because of what He has already done for us on the cross and the holiness that He has already imputed to us. (Hebrew 10:10) In other words, it's a fact that we are already separated and consecrated unto Him. However, in order to experience this sanctification in our lives, we must first relinquish ourselves to Him and allow Him to remove or cut away anything in us that quenches His Spirit.
As the Lord sanctifies us, we also have a role we play in this process.

See what Paul tells the Church:

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. (Philippians 2:12-13)

Colossians 3: 5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. And see the role  we play in the process of sanctification
