THE GROUND OF FAITH TRUE SANCTIFICATION “By the which will we are sanctified through ■ the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all” (Heb. 10:10). In this verse we have a two-fold truth, viz., we are:— 1. Sanctified by the will of God. 2. Sanctified by the work of Christ. The will of God is the source, the work of Christ the ground of our sancti­ fication. Sanctification is referred to in the Word of God undgr three aspects: 1. As an act done for us (1. Cor. 1:30). 2. As an aqt done to us (1 Pet. 1:2). 33. ^As'a work wrought in us (1 Thess. 5:23). The meaning of sanctification is to “separate” or “set apart,” never sinless perfection, or perfection in the flesh. Ac­ cepting Christ as our “sanctification,” we shall have “no confidence in the flesh,” and shall only boast of what we are in a risen and living Christ. We are sanctified: By the Father (Jude 1). In the Son (1 Cor. 1:2)) By the Holy Spirit (Rom. l’5:16). Therefore we are called “saints” or sanctified ones (1 Cor. 1:2). Vision—Heb. 11:1. Venture—Heb. 11:8. Victory—1 Jno. 5:4. F. S. SKtEPARD.
