IS GOD'S WILL MY WILL?
This is the will of God, even your sanctification.
1 Thessalonians 4:3
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1th+4:3&sr=1
It is not a question of whether God is willing to sanctify me; is it
my will? Am I willing to let God do in me all that has been made
possible by the Atonement? Am I willing to let Jesus be made
sanctification to me, and to let the life of Jesus be manifested in
my mortal flesh? Beware of saying - Oh, I am longing to be
sanctified. You are not, stop longing and make it a matter of
transaction - "Nothing in my hands I bring." Receive Jesus Christ to
be made sanctification to you in implicit faith, and the great marvel
of the Atonement of Jesus will be made real in you. All that Jesus
made possible is made mine by the free loving gift of God on the
ground of what He performed, my attitude as a saved and sanctified
soul is that of profound humble holiness (there is no such thing as
proud holiness), a holiness based on agonizing repentance and a sense
of unspeakable shame and degradation; and also on the amazing
realization that the love of God commended itself to me in that while
I cared nothing about Him, He completed everything for my salvation
and sanctification (see Rom. 5:8. R.V.). No wonder Paul says nothing
is "able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ
Jesus our Lord."
Sanctification makes me one with Jesus Christ, and in Him one with
God, and it is done only through the superb Atonement of Christ.
Never put the effect as the cause. The effect in me is obedience and
service and prayer, and is the out come of speechless thanks and
adoration for the marvellous sanctification wrought out in me because
of the Atonement.
