My Daily Sanctification

Sanctification through the Holy Spirit’s Conviction

God is convicting me to search my heart to work in my life according to God's will. God wants me to understand that He is there for me and He will help me through His GRACE. As a Christian, this is a CONTINUIOUS sanctification process of repenting throughout my Christian life. I know that I will never be perfect and at the same time, I desire NOT to sin. This is an "inward" relationship with the Holy Spirit and His conviction in my heart to repent and follow the cross of Jesus Christ. After I sinned, did I repent and ask God to help me to change and learn to live in a Holy life? Romans 12:9 "Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good." Ephesians 4:24 "and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness." When we read verses like these: 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 2 Peter 3:11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives. Luke 9:23 Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. The Holy Spirit is drawing us to Him by convicting us to repent and put our faith in God. Sin by accident is part of our sinful nature: Those who are in Christ Romans 7:18 I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. Galatians 5:17 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.

We are sanctified by faith and God is always sanctifying us every minute. 1 Thessalonians 4:3 It is God's will that you should be sanctified (spiritual). Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

As long as I am making efforts to live in holiness, then God is very pleased. In 2 Peter 1:5-9: "make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
