Friends in Christ, Reflecting on Saint John's Gospel, verse 17a " Sanctify them through Thy Truth."Sanctify! That is to say, make Holy. And to be made Holy is to be made God as He is revealed in Jesus. "This sounds a bold almost a presumptuous thing to say, but Christ Himself puts it yet more strongly.He says:"Be Ye therefore perfect, even as your Father, which is in heaven is perfect."
A humble, lowly, contrite heart, Believing, true, and clean, Which neither life nor death can part. From Him that dwells within.
There is no offering we can bring to God so precious as personal Holiness. There is no treasure we can gain for ourselves so valuable. There is nothing we can do for others so fruitful of blessing to them as to try for Holiness.
Thanks be to God.
Have a great day,
