TWO MINUTES% MtfH THE Bi&LE f \ BY CORNILIUS R STAM PRtS f BEREAN 81811 SOCIETY JJ -y \/{ CHICAGO JS, ILLINOIS ( j £ AN OLD FASHIONED DOCTRINE How many there are whose hearts would lie thrilled if they understood the old fashioned Bible doctrine of sanctifica tion! Sanctification is not a nega tive matter; don’t do this and don’t do that. It is rather the positive truth that God wants us for Himself as a sacred possession, much as a bride groom considers his bride his very own in a special, saci ed way. Bible sanctification is a two fold truth, affecting both out standing before God and our spiritual state. In one sense every true believer in Christ has already been sanctified, or consecrated to God, by the oper ation of the Holy Spirit. Thus we read; “...God hath from the begin ning chosen you to salvation, through sanctification of the spirit...”(n Thes. 2:13), "Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Fa ther, THROUGH SANCTIFICA TION OF THE SPIRIT...’fI Pet. 1:2). This has nothing to do with our conduct. God did it. Sanc tification begins with Him. Thus Paul could write to even the careless Corinthian' believers “So then, as we have oppor tunity, let us work that which is good toward all men,and es pecially toward them that a:* 1 of the household of the fait! -- Gal .6:10. Is God the head of your borne'. In family relationships, many situations arise that can be up setting and annoying. Put v. en we declare that God is the head of our home, that His love is in our home and blessing every member of our household, we establish a spirit of peace that is greater than any situation that my arise. Each member of a family can do his part in contrtbutine to the peace of the home. The basis of a happy home is the love that is in the hearts of those who live in it. We can begin wit! ourselves and work through prayer to keep a loving, under standing heart at all times and under all circumstances, In former days, it was a com mon practice for families to gather in one room once weekly and even once daily, while the father read passages from the Bible. This is a practice that could well be revived today ... a once - weekly or once - daily meeting for unified prayer and Church Ch ucklcs by CARTWRIGHT "l'v» it figured out. On my 70th birthday I dm going to »tart roperitlng and Saading a changed life!'" and sa v : "Ye ARE sanctified" (I Cor. 6:11, es. Acts 20: 32, 26:18), This phase of sancti fication is based on the redemp tive work of Christ in our be half, for Heh. 10:10 says: "We are sanctified through the offer ing of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” Put now God would have us appreciate this fact and con duct oui selves accordingly, consecrating ourselves ever more completely to Him. This is practical, progressive sanc tification. “For this is the will of God, even your sanctifica tion” ( I Thes. 4 : 3). Hence Paul’s benediction; “The very God of peace sanctify you whol ly” ( I Thes. h;23), and his exhortation to Timothy to be ‘ ‘a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet (fit) f<>» th. Master’s use” ( 1! Tim. 2: 21). How can believe) s be more w! oil; sanctified to God in their practical experience?By study ing and meditating on His Word. Our Lord prayed: “Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy Word is truth” (John 11:1 0 and Paul declares that "Christ lov e 1 the Church and gave Him self sot it that He might sancti t-. and cleanse it with THE WASHING Oh WATER BY THE WORD” (Kps. 3:25,26.)
