Many of My beloved look at sanctification as a level to reach in their walk with Me. I have even heard the term, "I am a sanctified saint." Sanctification simply means that you are set apart from the world to serve Me. The truth is that you were sanctified when I shed My blood for you. None of your works cause you to be sanctified. It was My grace work on the cross that offered you the joy of being set apart out of the world to serve in My Kingdom. Not everyone will receive this beautiful gift. However, I chose you from the foundation of the earth to live a sanctified life.
You may ask, "How can I live a sanctified life?" The truth is that you cannot. Only when you are in Me and I am in you are you able then to be set apart from the world. Remember always that sanctification is not a work. It is an ordination. I ordained you to be sanctified even before you were born. The writer of Hebrews exhorted believers to sanctify Me in their hearts. You sanctify Me in your heart when you put Me first in your life. Do that today.
HEBREWS 13:12; 1 PETER 3:15
