Welcome to Word of Life Study Series- Sanctification. Some folks have made the case to explain their moral failures that it was the devil that made them do it. No doubt the enemy will seek to energize our body of sin against us, but ultimately we yield to sin through an act of our will. No greater challenge faces the disciple of Christ than to learn to offer their body unto God as a living sacrifice.
Romans 12:1-2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God — this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.
What robs the believer of their joy and peace more than anything, is condemnation, guilt and shame when we fall into sin. Until Jesus returns, we have to sanctify (set apart as holy unto God) our minds and our bodies. The Grace of God found in His Word gives us the power to bring our natural appetites under control in order to live a life pleasing to the Lord.
