“Sanctification”
I Corinthians 1:30
“I am crucified with Christ; never the less, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20
It is not me, but Him now, that I’ve trusted in; I’m not my own, He proves Himself in and through me, yes me, mortal flesh! Am I worthy? I think not, yea less than worthy. I’m bought with a price that far exceeds all human understanding, it’s the shed blood of Jesus, applied to me that makes me clean and whole.
I’m set apart to manifest to others the love that He has put in me, and all of the attributes of the resurrected life. I am put here to ". . .live unto the Lord, . . .” Romans 14:8. We as Christians are sanctified to be: Sowers to scatter good seed; plowmen to break up fallow ground; heralds to publish salvation; salt of the earth to be a blessing and workers to work for Him and together with Him.
It is always amazing to me, Jesus says, “be ye holy for I am holy,” and then He gives us the power to do it; But we must draw it from His holiness. In this life, I can never be exactly like Jesus. But He must be Lord in me before I can ever prove Him to others.
“Set Apart”
Thank you, Lord, for your work
in me, I say it from the heart.
You came into me, my Lord to be,
And now I am set-apart.
