Day 22 "Saved And Sanctified"

A Beautiful Rescue

Happy Lord’s Day Beauties!

The work is done and being done.

God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.”
Ephesians 2:8-9 (NLT)

Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross has brought you the gift of salvation, you need only to receive it. There’s nothing you could ever do to earn this beautiful gift. The work was done on the cross. Let that truth flood your soul. Do you feel a sense of relief? Peace? Joy? Selah.

“But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:11 (NLT)

Sanctification is God's will for our lives and soul. It is the process of becoming more like Christ, by purifying our hearts and minds, through repentance, prayer, and spiritual practices. Throughout the Bible, sanctification is mentioned frequently as a calling to align ourselves with God's will and cleanse ourselves from sin. Remember, we can do nothing without Him. In sanctification, the Holy Spirit works in us so we can be obedient to being conformed to the image of Christ. Pray for the Spirit to reveal where you’re going it alone, and where you need to turn over your sanctification to Him. Selah.

Today’s a great day to thank Jesus for His beautiful rescue.
