EVERYDAY WORK OF GOD IN YOU- SANCTIFICATION
2 Peter 3:11-12
Since everything around us is going to be destroyed like this, what holy and godly lives you should live, 12 looking forward to the day of God and hurrying it along. On that day, he will set the heavens on fire, and the elements will melt away in the flames.
As we are MADE the Righteousness of God in Jesus Christ and set apart to God as His own possession, We are a Special Kind! We are the CHOSEN, ELECTED race of the people of God, the Creator Himself, as those in Jesus Christ to be His ROYAL priesthood, HOLY NATION. That is your ethnic background, that is the race of your bloodline and your past, present, and future of the legacy of your life! (2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 Peter 2:9)
The Righteousness of God is His people, The righteousness of God is the Way He made us in right standing before Him, and the righteousness of God is the Way of those made righteous. It is in the Creation and Making of His children in His Son, Jesus we are made a peculiar way and made to function, operate a peculiar way… it’s called Holy. The ultimate essence, existent of Our Father is that He is Holy and He created us Holy as He is in the death, life, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. (1Peter 1:15-16, Romans 1:17)
Knowing that we are made the Righteousness of God and now His own possession, He has given us a life that is filled with promises of eternal life and we will only die once, through faith on the Cross of Christ! And now living in the life of Jesus, through His divine power, He has given us everything we need to live a godly life that we honor, exalt and demonstrate the great promises and blessings of our “making” in the earth. (John 3:16, Hebrew 9:27, 2Peter 1:1-4)
WE NEED TO ASK OURSELVES A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION!
WHAT MANNER OF PEOPLE OUGHT WE BE, LOOKING AND ANTICIPATING THE DAY OF OUR LORD? WHAT KIND OF WAY SHOULD WE BE, EXIST, ACT, DEMONSTRATE, OR EVEN RESPOND? HOW SHOULD WE LIVE UNTIL JESUS CHRIST RETURNS ON THAT DAY, THAT IS OUR PROMISE OF ETERNAL LIFE? WHAT MANNER OF LIFE SHOULD WE LIVE AS THOSE IN JESUS CHRIST?
This is not a long answer, We are to be obedient! It is only in the obedience to God through His holy word does He set us apart from the world bringing us to the end of our sanctification, which is being conformed and transformed into the image of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ! (Romans 8:29, Romans 12:1-2)
God who is our sanctifier will spend every day of your life setting us apart from the world and anything that is hostile to Him, through Holy Spirit, His Faith, and His Word. Our fellowship in God’s Work is to be obedient to His Will, His Way, and His Pleasure. Trusting and Believing all things are worked out for our good, those that love HIM, those that are obedient to Him. (Lev. 20:8, Romans 15:15-16, 2 Thess 2:13, Ephesians 2:8, John 17:17. Romans 8:28, 1John 5:3 )
Be Encouraged Today that God, our Creator, and Father is doing a Great Work in you, that every promise, even the very promise that you will be blameless before Him in Jesus shall and will be fulfilled. Your job, Saints is to fellowship, yield, hear and be obedient to the Word, the Commands of God as he reveals His Word in your life! (Ephesians 1:4)
The Sanctification of God requires the willingness of your heart to obey and He will empower you to be a Hearer and a Doer for His Great Pleasure and Will. It’s called an offering to God, it begins in your heart; your mind, and your will. The sacrifice is different, as it is what you actually lay down for Him.
1 Thessalonians 2:12
We pleaded with you, encouraged you, and urged you to live your lives in a way that God would consider worthy. For he called you to share in his Kingdom and glory.
Have an Awesome and Blessed Day,
