Sanctification

 

"Sanctification  is  an  ongoing process of  bringing  order  and renewing.  Placement and revitalization. Not just  bringing  into correct  order  but  correct nature as  well.  Therefore,  it  is  creative in nature. Therefore it is forming in nature, and  mold­
ing in It's nature and yet It is allowing in It's nature, causing  all  these things to come forth in the nature of that which  they  are coming into harmony one with another."

 

Tonight,  I'd like to follow this thought completely through  the scripture.

 

#1)  "Sanctification is an ongoing process bringing order and renewing".

 

EPH 1: 3-12 The very 1st act of Sanctification is separation.

 

2 COR 6:17  Come out from where? Then What?  When?

 

REV 18:1-8  @ the time of the judgement.

 

MATT 25: 1-6 Come out, why? In order to meet Him!

 

HEB 7:25-26 He is separated from sinners

 

NUMB 6: 1-? Nazarite completely separated.

 

REV 3:20 He will come into you.

 

James 5:7-9 He is here as the Judge. We come out ot meet Him.

 

So we are to separate ourselves from the world

 

1 JOHN 2: 15-17

 

In  order for separation to be a complete work you must not  just  separate "from" but you must also Separate "to".

 

An EXODUS is not only out of but also into.

 

PP. 135-136

 

Separation is a process of bringing order and renewing. Renewing? To make new again. To re-establish; revive; to make fresh.

 

GEN 1: 3-11 Separation unto gathering unto life itself.

 

ISA 28: 12 The refreshing or the rest. But they would not.

 

ACTS 3:19-21  The refreshing comes from His presence.

 

MATT 11: 28-29 Come unto me all ye that labor and I will give you REST.

 

HEB 3: 7 - ...4:16 There is no rest outside of Christ and He is the Word.

 

"Sanctification  is  an  ongoing process of  bringing  order  and renewing.  Placement and revitalization. Not just bringing  into correct  order  but  correct nature as  well.  Therefore,  it  is creative in nature. Therefore it is forming in nature, and  mold­ing in It's nature and yet It is allowing in It's nature, causing all  these things to come forth in the nature of that which  they are coming into harmony one with another."

 

ELECT  EK LEKTOS  out from His PAtterned Word

 

1 PET 1: 2  Notice the molding in (vs) 3-7.

 

COL 3: 12

 

#2) FORMED

 

ISA 43:21 He is the one who has formed us in every detail.

 

JER 1:5  God formed Him in His mothers belly and Sanctified and called Him

 

ROM 9:20 So then what is He forming?

 

GAL 4:10  Til Christ be formed in you.

 

Now,  notice,  we said, Sanctification is an ongoing  process  of  bringing  order and renewing", which brings rest. This rest  then  comes  by a trust that brings you into correct order and  correct  nature.   Not  just bringing you into correct order  but  correct
nature as well. Therefore, it is creative in nature.

 

Therefore it is forming in nature, and molding in It's nature and  yet  It is allowing in It's nature, causing all these  things  to  come  forth  in  the nature of that which they  are  coming  into  harmony one with another."

 

Then Who's nature is it that is being formed in us?

 

EX 31:13 God is the one Who sanctifies.

 

1 COR 1:30 In Him is our sanctification.

 

2 PET 1: 1-4 We are made to be partakers of His own Divine nature.

 

COL 1:20-22 We are reconciled back to Him.

 

COL 3:4 Our own Life is actually His Life in us.
