When God Says …
“They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” (John 17:16-17 KJV).
In these utterances of the Lord's supplications to the Father, He beseeched for our sanctification (this is for us to be set apart or be made holy for God’s special use or purpose) through His truth which is His Word. His Word is the fullness of the Scripture. And, His Word - the Holy Bible, is the Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:1).
The Father’s Word is the person of Truth who came in bodily form. His goal in giving us His Word - His Truth, is not to limit us or restrict us, but to make us pure and holy. Through His Word of Truth we are transformed to live in the center of the Father’s attention and intention. It is not by doctrines of religion. It is not watered down scriptures being knit-picked for use as doctrines of religion. This is God's pure untainted Words that we must partake through our reflections and meditations, every moment of our lives. We must open our hearts to His Word of truth and apply it in our lives through faith. God's Spirit is at work to transform us from within into people who are pure and holy. Through the process of regeneration, we become more and more like our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
In time that God set for our sanctification, as we receive the Lord Jesus Christ to be our Savior and are born again, scriptures declare: “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” (1 Peter 2:9 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!
