Sanctification Two

For example, we may have used our mouth to argue with others in the past. But when we present our mouth to righteousness, we present it for speaking thanksgiving and praise.

Thus, it is no longer used to argue with others. The use of our ears is another example.

Our ears may have loved to listen to gossip about the shortcomings of others. My ears have been presented as slaves to righteousness. I will no longer listen to these words.

My ears are for listening to the word of God. Our lips are occupied by God, and our ears are occupied by God. Hence, the end of our being sanctified dispositionally unto God is eternal life 6: They give you a good example. When you go to the villages to teach the new ones, you have to teach them point by point.

Our natural tendency is to embrace sin, yet God in His divine wisdom has chosen to give us the responsibility of working out our own sanctification. But how do we pursue sanctification? How are we personally responsible? Though every person's sanctification is unique and personal, there are common disciplines in the pursuit of sanctification that are unchanging.

When we are suffering or facing temptation , our mind and body are weak. Satan knows this and tries to take advantage of us.

THE TWO ASPECTS OF SANCTIFICATION

When we pray, we are in spiritual union with God. Not only will prayer comfort us in our hardship, but it will also give us the strength to overcome sin.

Through prayer, we are also more sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. God has also given us the written Word - the Bible. The Bible is not merely a history book, but its words have the power to sanctify us. God's Word also has the power to transform our mind, convict, and bring to light the darkness that is within our hearts.

It is the instrument which God uses to develop in us knowledge, faith, and personal holiness; all of which are essential elements of sanctification. Those who feel little compulsion to become holy for their own sake, at least ought to feel a burden to become holy for the sake of others. We are, after all, to live outside ourselves, to do unto others as we would have them do to us. Sanctification is a gift to others.

But so too are the means God uses to achieve that sanctification. The reality is we are deeply entrenched in our sin and poorly motivated to put it to death. Whether for this reason or for his own inscrutable purposes, God sometimes uses difficult means. He uses trials and sorrows and suffering. And through it all he conforms us to the image of his Son who was also made perfect through suffering Hebrews 2:
