1 | saved and sanctified | Ephesians | azurelaw | 189271 | ||
By the blood of Jesus, believers are called righteous and saved. As believers, in our process of sanctification in our life time, is it a must that we undergo all sorts of trials, tests, and sufferings, etc.(the refining process of fine gold)? Is sanctification referred to what Paul said in 1 Cor 10:24 as the reward? How should I understand the relationship between being saved and sanctified? With this I mean, some believers believed and were baptized just before the moment of their death, there was no way for them to undergo the process of sanctification as such described in Zech 13:9. Hope I have expressed my question clear. Thanks for your help. Shalom Azure |

Azure, Good morning young lady, Very good question and one that is confusing as well as "there is too much being mingled in with the Biblical concept." Sanctification is our given position in Christ. He, not us, is the one who sanctifies us because of Him being our Lord and Savior. Take a look at this post from Wikipedia; Sanctification From Wikipedia, Part of a series of articles on Christianity Christian theology: Sanctification or in its verb form, sanctify, literally means to set apart for special use or purpose, that is to make holy or sacred (from the Latin verb sanctificare, which in turn derives from sanctus, "holy" and facere, "to make".). The Greek word is hagiasmos (Üãéáóìïò), meaning "holiness, consecration, or sanctification." [1] It comes from the root hagios (Üãéïò), which means holy or sacred. Sanctification then refers to the state or process of being set apart or made holy. What is often missed, or overlooked, is the relational aspect that is associated with the word sancification. Only God is truly holy. Everything else, whether it is things or people, is holy only because of its relationship to God God bless, InGodITrust |

Hello InGodITrust, I have noted the you have quoted from Wikipedia. I don't know if you are aware of the fact the it is a user edited encyclopedia. I mean no disrespect, and the information the you quoted seems verry good but I would just like to give you a heads up. Here is a few quots from an article by a former edeter of encyclopedia Britannica. Here is the URL so you or anyone who would like can read the whole thing. http://www.techcentralstation.com/111504A.html God bless. John ------------------------------------------------------ "Let's first see what they intended to create. The general FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page tells us: "Wikipedia's goal is to create a free encyclopedia --- indeed, the largest encyclopedia in history, both in terms of breadth and depth and also to become a reliable resource." Note the adjectives, and the order in which they appear: • free • largest (breadth) • largest (depth) "and also" • reliable This statement of purpose must be taken with at least a grain of salt, however, because it, like everything else on the Wikipedia site, is editable, by anyone. We can take it that the statement represents the view of the last person to modify it, and those of unknown others who have chosen not to modify it further or to "revert" it, in the lingo, meaning to return it to a prior state. It is entirely consonant with other statements on the site and with instructions given to volunteer editors and copy editors: "In other words, the process allows Wikipedia to approach the truth asymptotically. The basis for the assertion that this is advantageous vis-à-vis the traditional method of editing an encyclopedia remains, however, unclear." "As anyone can edit any article, it is of course possible for biased, out of date or incorrect information to be posted." One person's "knowledge," unfortunately, may be another's ignorance. To put the Wikipedia method in its simplest terms: 1. Anyone, irrespective of expertise in or even familiarity with the topic, can submit an article and it will be published. 2. Anyone, irrespective of expertise in or even familiarity with the topic, can edit that article, and the modifications will stand until further modified. "The user who visits Wikipedia to learn about some subject, to confirm some matter of fact, is rather in the position of a visitor to a public restroom. It may be obviously dirty, so that he knows to exercise great care, or it may seem fairly clean, so that he may be lulled into a false sense of security. What he certainly does not know is who has used the facilities before him." Robert McHenry is Former Editor in Chief, the Encyclopedia Britannica, and author of How to Know (Booklocker.com, 2004). |
