Sanctified Body

 

    God connected with His people through creation and the garden, the meeting tent, Tabernacle, Temple of the Lord, through Jesus, and in us.  God has never stopped pursuing us since He created us.  We were created to be sanctified, but so many people never find out what that means.

    God sent His son, Jesus, to die for you.  He chose you.  He loves you.  He made you for a purpose.  In return all He wants is a relationship that glorifies Him.  You are able to pray, read God's Word, proclaim God's Word, and live as a holy sacrifice (die to selfishness).  You can do all that, but it is your choice on if you will.  If you do, then you will live a life of glory to God.

    Take a good  look at yourself and your life.  Do you physically and spiritually glorify God?  What does your prayer life look like?  Do you read the Bible?  Do you think about the Bible or God at all throughout your day?  Are you present when you are in God's Word?  Do you look for ways to apply what you learn when you read God's Word?  

    If you are a true Christian, then you are sanctified.  The past is the past, but you should be trying to get closer to God and willing to stand out from the world more and more every day.  Are you allowing the Holy Spirit to make the changes in you that you need to make?  

    When you become a Christian the Holy Spirit basically marries your soul and they become one.  This sanctifies you, but you still have to work at the relationship every day to make your body a home for the Holy Spirit.  What you eat, listen to, read, and act all matter.  One day you will be in our eternal body and answering God for how you lived your life.  Don't you want the Holy Spirit to give a good testimony?  Honor the sanctified body God gave you today.
