For ease of copy/pasting or sharing on your own blogs, I've decided to leave off pictures from his posts as his words need to be read and shared. I enjoy using creativity and fun to Spread the Gospel but sometimes things just don't need anything to make them better and his writings on the truth of Jesus Christ is definitely in that category! However, I will share one at the start as we do have storms in our life but God will never leave us alone! God bless and enjoy. Share, reshare, post, whatever...you have his permission!

SANCTIFICATION * God will bless you who read this study & search the scriptures till it's conclusion.
Is a setting apart unto God, is threefold:
It is already complete for every saved person because our position toward God is the same as Christ's position.
Since we are IN Christ, we are set apart unto God in the measure in which Christ is set apart unto God.
However we retain our sin nature, which cannot be eradicated in this life. Therefore, while our standing in Christ is perfect our present state is no more perfect than our experience in daily life.
There is therefore a progressive sanctification wherein we are to "grow in grace" and to "be changed" by the power of the Holy Spirit.(we sin and sin binds the Spirit and stops the progression of becoming more holy unto God. Thus we pray daily according to (1 John 1:5-10; 2:1-2).
God never leaves us being sealed in us in the Holy Spirit;
Eph. 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption but will discipline us:
Hebrews 12:10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
ONE FINE DAY WE WILL BE LIKE JESUS: SINLESS!!! BUT NOT BY OUR DOING OR UNDOING AS SO MANY TEACH WHO ARE DECEIVED!
The scriptures are clear! we will be fully sanctified in our yet imperfect state as we are now sanctified in our standing in Christ when we shall see our Lord and shall have been transformed at the moment He calls us up and be "like Him."
THE RAPTURE! ( WE ARE NOT TO BE JUDGED AS THE WORLD IS IN THE GREAT TRIBULATION!!!)
1 Cor.15:
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
WE ARE BEING MADE HOLY : THIS WE NEED TO GET STRAIGHT AND WALK ACCORDINGLY
John 17:
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Heb.10:
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Heb.10:
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. (progressively now and finally at Christ's call to come up)
2 Cor.3:
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
2 Cor. 7: (SIN NOT = do not practice sinning and without conviction by the Holy Spirit which is evidence of not being saved)
7 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Eph.4:
24 and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Eph.5:
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. (when we will see Jesus at the rapture we will see Him as He is through eyes without sin anymore! And we will REJOICE in Heaven in the New Jerusalem, our home Jesus prepared for us!
1 Thess.5:
23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
WE NEVER WALK ALONE
God has appointed all our days and RIGHT NOW this is when we are here, and GOD called us into this time and we are in places God has assigned by His will for us as well as choices we make which God knew in advance AND will use for His glory IF WE SUBMIT. What is submit? Walk by the Holy Spirit and NOT our carnal nature.
We want to please God. We want to walk and live in the faith we have and that is always through the Holy Spirit. God KNOWS all our sins ! and bled His sinless blood to cover them ALL! ("Propitiation" : AN ATONING SACRIFICE: JESUS PAID OUR SINS DEBT) What a GOD we have! What a Savior!
SUBMIT MEANS PRAY DAILY FOR FORGIVENESS AS JESUS TAUGHT (If I don't wash you daily you are none of mine!!!)
We are to SUBMIT, in that we are to be led by the Holy Spirit in this truth that nothing that happens and anywhere we are is by chance and does not concern our walk with GOD and our becoming holy like unto Jesus. This we will reach one day when Jesus calls us up. But we are :
ON THE ROAD TOWARDS GLORY AND HE IS LEADING US ACCORDING TO THE EXTENT OF OUR SUBMISSION TO HIS WILL THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT IN US AND BY HIS WORD OF TRUTH
IN THIS UNDERSTANDING THAT NOTHING THAT HAPPENS AND ANYWHERE WE ARE , WE ARE ON GOD TIME AND BY FAITH (according to His word) ENCOUNTER OUR REALITY AND THE GREATER THIS TRUTH IS, THE MORE JESUS LIKE WE ARE LIVING IN HIM ACCORDING TO HIS WORD.
WE ARE SAVED!
Jesus made one truth as clear as any non heretic can make it:
I GIVE THEM ETERNAL LIFE! AND NOTHING CAN SEPARATE A BELIEVER FROM MY FATHERS HAND.... I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE.
We are not under God's judgment on our sins through the redeeming sacrifice of our Lord for ALL our sins [ALL] but we sin. We don't practice sinning in our lifetime but we sin! NO ONE WHO IS IN THE HOLY SPIRIT can say "I DO NOT SIN ANYMORE" ! That state comes when Jesus transforms us a the Rapture and we are made perfectly Holy BY HIM.
THE JOURNEY OF SALVATION
WE ARE BLAMELESS, NOT SINLESS: BEING MADE HOLY (SANCTIFICATION) A LIFELONG JOURNEY
Romans 8:34
" Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. (For our sin as well, daily! as our High Priest)
Repentance is lifelong. It IS becoming Holy unto the Lord also called being sanctified. It is NOT without failures. We will sin, but no longer as our natural habit as a lifestyle, for conviction is in us by The Holy Spirit. And God has provided a means to restore our lost fellowship with Him when we sin (NOT IF! WHEN!). (See 1 John 1:5-10; 2:1)
1 John 1:
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleans us from our sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
WHY DO WE HAVE WE HAVE A HIGH PRIEST 24/7 IN HEAVEN?
Hebrews 4:
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
SIN NATURE IS STILL IN US
1 John 2:1
" My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:"
We sin. Sin grieves God in us. Fellowship is broken with our Father. We confess sin in Christ. His High Priestly ministry, BY HIS BLOOD, renews our fellowship with God. The broken fellowship also binds the Holy Spirit in us and we are without fillings of Him for faithful service until sin is confessed in prayer to our Father through Jesus.
* I am convinced that many Christians who reject that they sin and do not seek God in prayer to renew fellowship can be and often ARE deceived by demon spirits that they are serving God and here is where heresy and loveless conduct begins in that one who then becomes holier then thou! Many swear they sin NOT! NEVER! They ARE deceived and not IN Christ until they pray for forgiveness. For sin breaks fellowship with God and binds the Holy Spirit in us.
Romans 7:
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Hebrews 12:
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
THE CONCLUSION OF SALVATION AT THE "RAPTURE"
We are now blameless IN CHRIST, 1 Cor.1:8, not faultless!
1 Cor.1:
8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
PERFECTED! (We shall be like Jesus)
At His call we will be perfected. 1 John 3:1:2; Phil.3:21
1 John 3:
1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
Philippians 3:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
HE NEVER LEAVES US! 24/7 MINISTRY OF JESUS
JESUS SAID: "IF I DON'T WASH YOU DAILY YOU ARE NOT MINE"
John 13:
8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
This IS by His blood in the heavenly sanctuary which will KEEP us in Him even if we do not pray for the forgiveness of our sins, for He has finished our redemption and took our judgment of death; yet we need to pray through Him, to our Father, that fellowship is ours daily, in Him, to serve God, in the fullness of the Holy Spirit whose power IN US is bound by sins NOT confessed (daily)!
WE WILL SIN
1 John 2:1
" My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not
And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:"
REMEMBER THESE WORDS OF JESUS: " "IF I DON'T WASH YOU DAILY YOU ARE NOT MINE""
Romans 7:
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
CAUTION!
Believers do NOT live in continuous sin! We will be convicted by the Spirit. We will be unhappy and being out of the faith, in sin, dead to God!
1 John 3:6 (If we are His we do NOT practice sin (sins not) as our lifestyle)
Whosoever abides in him sins not: whosoever sins (continuous) has not seen him, neither known him.
1 John 3:
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin (live in sin); for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Verse 9 ABOVE says that those who have been “born of God” will not continue to live sinfully. But we do sin.
REMEMBER THIS! FOR UNBROKEN FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD AND SERVICE DAILY "IN THE FAITH"
++++ I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. John 15:5
1 John 1:
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU WHO READ TILL HERE!!! AND SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES TO CONFIRM THIS STUDY
Is a setting apart unto God, is threefold:

Since we are IN Christ, we are set apart unto God in the measure in which Christ is set apart unto God.

There is therefore a progressive sanctification wherein we are to "grow in grace" and to "be changed" by the power of the Holy Spirit.(we sin and sin binds the Spirit and stops the progression of becoming more holy unto God. Thus we pray daily according to (1 John 1:5-10; 2:1-2).
God never leaves us being sealed in us in the Holy Spirit;
Eph. 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption but will discipline us:
Hebrews 12:10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
ONE FINE DAY WE WILL BE LIKE JESUS: SINLESS!!! BUT NOT BY OUR DOING OR UNDOING AS SO MANY TEACH WHO ARE DECEIVED!

O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
WE ARE BEING MADE HOLY : THIS WE NEED TO GET STRAIGHT AND WALK ACCORDINGLY
