Sanctification

Have you ever thought much about sanctification? Random House dictionary defines it as a process to be made holy, set apart as sacred, to purify or free from sin, to make productive of or conducive to spiritual blessing. So what does that really look like? it is the process of moving toward holiness and righteousness --- and away from ungodliness and sinfulness. It is not the state of being without sin ... until it is completed.

So all Christians or Christ-followers generally know that we are in the process of sanctification. All too easily though, we lose sight of the fact that those who are in the process of sanctification are also not without sin. No, we are moving away from sinfulness and ungodliness --- and moving toward righteousness and holiness. But until this process of sanctification is completee --- we aren't there.
