Jesus desires for us to be sanctified!



As a reminder being sanctified means growing in holiness. Becoming more like Christ! 

Jesus has a great desire for us to grow in sanctification as it is a sign that we are true followers and living a life of true faith!

1 Corinthians 1:30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

John 17:19 And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

Ephesians 5:25-26 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,

Titus 2:14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.

Jesus made it possible for us to be pure and holy before God by shedding His blood on that cross for all mankind and now He desire us to continue to grow to be holy, pure, and righteous through the power of the Holy Spirit.

The #1 way for us to grow in sanctification is to read the Word and obey it! God’s word is clear on this subject so as a follower of Jesus grow in holiness!!! A lifelong adventure!
