Thessalonians – Final Words
Sanctify
– to purify, to cleanse, to make holy
– to set apart, to separate from profane things
To what degree will I be sanctified?
A: Completely – to the full end.
– to the full image of Christ.
What part of me will be completely sanctified?
A: All of you – the entirety of your being.
Two Dilemmas in our sanctification:
1. Our righteousness is all from Christ; not our doing…
– yet we are to strive earnestly in our sanctification.
2. The power for our sanctification is from God Himself…
– yet we are to strive earnestly in our sanctification.
