"For this is the will of God, even your sanctification...." 1Thess. 4:3
This is the revealed will of God for all believers and it is essential to our relationship with Him. He wants us to be sanctified - made holy, even as He is Holy! This is not something we can do ourselves, it is the process God activates in us, as we in faith and obedience move closer to Him and to His word, by choosing to clean our lives of the things which are offensive to Him and by practicing the directives He gives us. The process of sanctification is both immediate at our conversion and progressive as we continue in faithfulness until the end. What glorious concept and condition we find in this sanctification! We who were alienated from God and dead in our trespasses and sins, can by this God ordained and conducted purifying process, find our right and blessed place in the Lord, as children and heirs of the kingdom!
