SANCTIFICATION
Of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto
us ... sanctification.
1 Corinthians 1:30
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1co+1:30&sr=1
The Life Side. The mystery of sanctification is that the perfections
of Jesus Christ are imparted to me, not gradually, but instantly when
by faith I enter into the realization that Jesus Christ is made unto
me sanctification. Sanctification does not mean anything less than
the holiness of Jesus being made mine manifestly.
The one marvellous secret of a holy life lies not in imitating Jesus,
but in letting the perfections of Jesus manifest themselves in my
mortal flesh. Sanctification is "Christ in you." It is His wonderful
life that is imparted to me in sanctification, and imparted by faith
as a sovereign gift of God's grace. Am I willing for God to make
sanctification as real in me as it is in His word?
Sanctification means the impartation of the Holy qualities of Jesus
Christ. It is His patience, His love, His holiness, His faith, His
purity, His godliness, that is manifested in and through every
sanctified soul. Sanctification is not drawing from Jesus the power
to be holy; it is drawing from Jesus the holiness that was manifested
in Him, and He manifests it in me. Sanctification is an impartation,
not an imitation. Imitation is on a different line. In Jesus Christ
is the perfection of everything, and the mystery of sanctification is
that all the perfections of Jesus are at my disposal, and slowly and
surely I begin to live a life of ineffable order and sanity and
holiness: "Kept by the power of God."
