“Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.”
John 17:17
Heard a great sermon on this on Sunday. He quoted
Greudem’s Systematic Theology: Sanctification is being moved out of the
realm of the profane and being put into the realm of the divine. This
passage includes to verb forms of the word “sanctify” the one meaning that it
was a one-time done deal and the other meaning that it is an ongoing process
until its completion. We were sanctified at the moment of salvation; we
are being sanctified (made holy) as we walk with the Lord until the day of
completion in Christ (heaven).
Notice that sanctification is imbedded in truth, and truth
is the word of God. Be there; be in it; live it. God’s truth, His
word, will renew your mind and heart and will bring you to the day of
completion, completely sanctified in Him. I pray that you would
desire no less.
