Separated to the Lord

The Greek word translated “sanctification” in today’s verse could also mean the sanctifier.” Christ, the sanctifier has come to live in you! He’s not in you trying to sanctify you; He has already sanctified you. He’s your “separator” from everything evil and He sets you apart from the world, sanctifying everything you do. He has separated us to Himself, from sin and evil to righteousness. So, as one who is separated and sanctified by the Lord, what are you expected to do? Hebrews 2:11 says, “Jesus and the people he makes holy all belong to the same family. That is why he isn’t ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters” (CEV). The Bible says He isn’t ashamed to call you his brother or sister, therefore, you shouldn’t be ashamed to confess Him to the world as your Big Brother. When you see yourself as His brother or sister and you’re not ashamed of Him, nothing can stop you from walking up to people to tell them about Jesus. You must desire for everyone around you to hear the Gospel, receive Him, and be made holy. You’ve been distinguished and chosen of God unto His glory and created for His pleasure. Think about and contemplate this all the time.
