Title: Romans 08:13 The Truth of Sanctification
Contents
title; the truth of sanctification
Romans 8:13 - If you live according to the flesh, you will surely die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
God is holy.
Holiness means morally perfect and powerfully
Thinking of this kind of God, we examine ourselves again.
In the hymn we call the Holy Almighty
It is the sincere confession of the saints.
that God asks of us
I am holy, so be holy too.
Therefore, believers have a mission and responsibility for sanctification.
If you define sanctification
Being renewed in all mankind after the image of God
For sin we can die and for righteousness we can live.
What is the basis for sanctification?
We need to think about what Jesus said to the Pharisees.
They fasted twice in seven days
I even gave tithes of vegetables.
Why did you say they were hypocrites after seeing that thorough life?
Most importantly, they relied on their actions rather than God.
He relied on his own right
Therefore, the basis for the sanctification of the saints is different
It's not you, it's not your right
Only Jesus is the basis
It doesn't just mean being a moral person
Rather, believers should live a life that is more than moral.
They only think of themselves on the basis of the atonement of Jesus.
405 in the hymn is like this
I am amazed by the grace of the Lord who saved a sinner like me
It means that there is someone like me by the grace of the Lord
What are the elements of sanctification
Sanctification is a combination of the work of the Holy Spirit and one's own obedience and devotion.
In some cases, it is said that we depend only on the work of the Holy Spirit.
One's determination and devotion are indifferent
but it is not biblical
In some cases I only think about what I try
However, it is impossible to live like a child of God by human strength.
It is the work of the Holy Spirit
Look at the case of the early church
Aninia Sapphira case.
They deceive themselves and the church
But it is deceiving the Holy Spirit
There must be sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit and human obedience
The Apostle Paul expresses his sanctification life by saying that he runs every day.
Not sloth and indulgence
It means total dedication and consistency
The story of Sejong Lee of Hwasundoam is told.
He welcomes his wife who abandoned him and left the house again years later.
Next time, the wife who has gone out again will take the food on her back.
He lived the life of the Old Testament prophet Hosea
He valued doing what he knew, not knowing much.
I tried to live according to the word of the Lord.
Following his spirit, Hyunpil Lee started Donggwangwon and established Gwiilwon in Bangripdong, Gwangju.
Sanctification is the union of the work of the Holy Spirit and your obedience
what is the specific method
The negative way is to break and break
It is a renunciation of corrupt habits, lusts, speech and deeds.
At the same time, we strive to be positive
do it with love
to do good deeds
The Lord said if your hand causes you to sin, cut off your hand.
You are asking for a personal decision.
There was an article about someone's change in the newspaper
I am the one who stole rice in difficult times
He is sentenced and becomes an ex-convict.
But the article was that he worked hard and is now a helper with rice.
It was truly a moving change and the truth.
Are there paths to sanctification?
Above all, God gave worship as an instrument of prosperity.
Calvin said that worship was given as a gift to control and sanctify our corruption.
If worship worships God as a whole, we will receive the grace of sanctification.
What goes wrong is the formalization of worship
Jesus told the tithing life of the Pharisees
It is said that ye pay tithes, but have forsaken righteousness and mercy and godliness.
Taught me to give my heart away with formality
What to watch out for in the sanctuary
The sanctification of the saints is the fact that they are mere ascetics
The Bible says that everything created by God is good and can be received with thanksgiving.
We are sanctified through prayer and the word
Sanctification is not denying the world nor escaping
It is to live a holy life in the midst of the world by properly discerning through the Word and prayer.
Let's become saints who reveal God to the world through the life of sanctification
