Jesus’s exemplary lifestyle of biblical sanctification.

Jesus’s exemplary lifestyle of biblical sanctification.

John  17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.  17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.  17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.  17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

Jesus Christ our Lord, prayed for the sanctification of His eleven apostles and the totality of Bible believing believers of all ages,that will believe their words on sanctification. 

John  17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.  17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

Sanctification is the second work of grace after biblical salvation and it is the singular requisite for being part of the imminent rapture or eternity with God.

Sanctification is the will of God.

1 Thessalonians  4:3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:  4:4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

This is the will, majority of empty professors and churchgoers will lack and Jesus will send them to hell.

Matthew  7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.  7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Because of these, all the three personalities in the Godhead can sanctify anyone who desire the experience.

God the Father.

1 Thessalonians  5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  5:24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

Leviticus  20:7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.  20:8 And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you.

Jesus Christ.

Ephesians  5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;  5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,  5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Hebrews  13:12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.  13:13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

John  17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

The blessed Holy Spirit.

Romans  15:16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

Jesus Christ our Lord was the perfect example of all truly biblically sanctified believers.

During His earthly ministry, He lived a lifestyle of biblical sanctification for all Bible believing believers to emulate and replicate.

John  17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

He has left example for every Bible believing believers to follow.

1 Peter  2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

No wonder, He said you should learn of Him. One major lifestyle you learn from Christ, is biblical sanctification.

Matthew  11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Listen to His lifestyle of biblical sanctification during His earthly ministry and replicate it, for you to live eternally with God at the end of time.

John  4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

John  6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

John  8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.  8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

John  9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

John  13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;  13:4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.  13:5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.  13:12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?  13:13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.  13:14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.  13:15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

John  14:31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

Acts  1:1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

Philippians  2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:  2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:  2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Hebrews  7:26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

For you as a Bible believing believers to say, you are biblically sanctified, you must be walking after the footsteps of Jesus.

John  13:13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.  13:15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

His grace will be sufficient for you.

Let us pray .
