Bible Question: is this something you have to let the Holy Ghost lead you to be? Or does it just come as you grow closer to God. Also when the Spirit tells you to come up higher in prayer what does he means? |
Bible Answer: Hi, heizld... WOS gave a very good answer! These words are translated in the New Testament as sanctification. There are two senses of this word, and we'll be getting into those details in our theological terms. However, God is responsible and the only one who can sanctify in one sense. In fact, the word "saints" in the NT is the same root word. Since salvation is entirely a work of God, then He must sanctify us. There is another sense, though, where we are called to fervently work to live holy lives. If we are believers, we'll have a desire for greater holiness, and we will grow more and more in the image of Christ. In Him, Doc PS Sorry for jumping in, WOS... maybe you can explain this in easier to understand terms than I can. :-) |
