Sanctification—
There is God’s part and there is man’s part.
Man 𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒐𝒕 do God’s part, and God 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒏𝒐𝒕 do man’s.
But if we do our part, He will wholly do His part—It’s His word!
…Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
1Pe 2:24 psalm.bible/psalm-145-18
The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities—
for we know not what we should pray for as we ought,
but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Rom 8:26
Consecration—being dedicated to God's service—is our part
Sanctification—being set apart from sin and being made holy—is God's part.
Oswald Chambers, My Utmost For His Highest
If thou hast run with the footmen and they have wearied thee—then how canst thou contend with horses?
and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee—then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
Jer 12:5
In the face of a raging moving water,
something is either going to stand—
or get entirely swept away.
Is your anchor deep enough
—heavy enough—
to hold?
A fixed heart requires a fixed determination—
The enemy of our soul has a bagfull of tricks designed individually to personally distract us from our determination.
What’s your determination level today? As fixed as it was yesteryear when your love for Christ was fresh?
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
Isa 54:17 psalm.bible/psalm-59-16
Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when He cometh, shall find watching—
Verily I say unto you that He shall gird himself,
and make them to sit down to meat,
and will come forth and serve them.
Watch and wait…
Luk 12:37 isaiah.bible/isaiah-41-13
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty
—and continueth therein—
he being not a forgetful hearer,
but a doer of the work,
this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Jas 1:25 psalm.bible/psalm-100-5
If my people, which are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray,
and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways—
then, will I hear from heaven
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.
2Ch 7:14 matthew.bible/matthew-7-8
"Faithful Christian,
seek the truth
listen to the truth
learn the truth
love the truth
tell the truth
defend the truth—
even to death."
Jan Hus, martyred 1415
