Bible Question: what is the difference between the word consecrate (ex.28:3) and sanctify (ex.13:2) i have searched and still can't get a clear understanding. maybe it's just me. |
Bible Answer: Hi! Only One can Sanctify, the Holy Spirit... God makes us or anything holy (pure/purified/separated) as with the various people that were anointed and the ground about the burning bush, the mountain where God dwell as He visited with the Hebrew people, the Ark... You, I or anyone else, can choose to consecrate your life to God... as the Nazarites, the various prophets, John the Baptist, etc... though we can elect to separate ourselves from the temporal world in order to serve God (as the various monks, hermits and others); it is only God who can call us to that service and it is only God who can sanctify both our bodies and our labor.
