Understanding of the biblical concept of
sanctification is very important in understanding our
conversion and God's role in it. As an introduction to our
lesson, it's interesting to note that the words most often
translated, “sanctify”, “holy”, and “saints” all come from
the same root word in the Greek which means two separate or
set apart. Let's remember that as we go along today.
1.
Sanctification in the Old Testament.
2.
Sanctification in the New Testament. (Christian age)
3.
Conclusion
Regardless of your past you can be washed, sanctified and
justified if you are willing. Those who have been
sanctified must live a separated life. Our new sanctified
lives should reflect God's character-“be holy, for I am
holy”. Has our conduct been clean? Have we been using our
members for righteousness?
