Be sanctified

12 October  2012  

 

Romans 15:15-16 But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, because of the grace given me by God to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Each of us are reminded of what Jesus has accomplished for us through His sacrifice on the cross, so that we may be presented by Jesus Christ to the Father. In this process each of us experience the grace of God, this grace which allows us to live not dominated by laws, but by love, by loving each other as Jesus Christ loves us. This results in us not only living the gospel of God, but being priests in the service of God.

In all these we become an offering to God, not because of who we are or even what we have done but because we are sanctified by the Holy Spirit. This sanctification is a process through which we experience the things of God which brings us into a deeper relationship with God. The more we offer God of ourselves, the more acceptable we become as a sacrifice to God.

Be encouraged today to live sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

  

David
