Subject: Sanctification Process? |
Bible Note: Thank you for that wonderful explanation and provided study scriptures. I want to see youe explanation to a thought I'm having about 'consecration.' Consecration by Webster's defintion: 'dedicate to a sacred purpose or service.' My thought, Once we are justified through faith, we are sanctified, or set apart. Until this 'setting apart'; Truly, we can't be as informed as we should about the Word of God. Even if we had sat through numerous sermons, or studied for relentless hours; If we have never had that 'Born Again' experience; Would not our understanding come from a 'Humanistic Approach', and not the Holy Spirit's guidance? After true regeneration, we now began our proper journey as we move more towards a 'consecrated life'. So now, would not our forward progression be a sense of being 'consecrated' and not 'Santified'? I can only pray this is understandable, with clarity. If not, please do your best to understand the direction I am being led on this concerned topic. This is a topic I find of disagreement in some of my Bible study groups, and would like to get some feedback from this forum so I may share with them. May the Lord be with you, John Ryals |
