Day 22 "Saved and Sanctified"
Rescued by Love
Good Morning Beauties!
What a beautiful morning as we embrace the Truth of our Salvation and Sanctity. These are the most important gifts we’ll ever receive, and the difficult part to believe is they’re free. There is nothing we have to do or pay, just believe in the Amazing Grace God showed us in His Son, Jesus.
I found a wonderful study that explains the gifts of Salvation and Sanctification. Please take a few minutes and read the article. There are links to several scriptures you may find helpful. Here’s a section where the difference between the two gifts are explained…
Sanctification - Different Than Salvation
It is important to differentiate between justification and sanctification. Justification is another word for salvation. Jesus gave his life on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins. His blood washes away our sins and frees us from an eternity of suffering and condemnation. Believers are saved because of what Christ has already done. We can do nothing to earn salvation, it is the gift given to every child of God regardless of race, age, maturity, or merit. Sanctification occurs as a result of salvation. At the moment of conversion, the Holy Spirit enters our life. We are no longer held hostage by death, but are free to live the life God desires for us. We are thus sanctified simply because of our standing as lost souls saved by grace.
Following Jesus - Sanctification
I pray that you take time to delight in the Love of God. He saved us from eternal damnation and to an eternal Heaven. He is worthy of our heartfelt adoration. How will you praise Him today? Selah.
Love and Blessings,
