Salvation is a gift; as we all know, that gift can be rejected. That is why the word of God says that one must accept Jesus Christ, who is the gift of our salvation, to be born again.
Romans 10:9 (That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation).
Jesus Christ has paid the price for our sin, and he sanctified himself so that we can be sanctified. John 17:19 (And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth).
He is the bread that came down from heaven; he is the gift of God to humanity. Many have rejected this gift, which is Christ, and that is why many are not saved today. That you are sanctified today does not mean you are always sanctified, and that is why we need to maintain our sanctification. Samson, John the Baptist, and Jesus were sanctified from their mother´s womb; that is, they were separated for a purpose. The Holy Spirit was already operating in their lives from the womb; that is why the Angel instructed their mother on how to maintain the Spirit of God in them even before they were born. Their parents were their guidance until they grew up and understood why they were different from others. There are some foods they don't eat, and they don't take strong drinks. Jesus Christ is the same today, yesterday, and forevermore. The instruction is still the same today: to maintain our sanctification and keep the Spirit of God active in our lives, we need to live a life of separation. There are dos and don´ts to observe.
2 Corinthians 6:16 (And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you).
Once sanctified is not always sanctified; you can lose sanctity due to carelessness or ignorance. Samson lost his sanctity because he allowed himself to be defiled; he was carried away with lust. The devil is still using the same strategy today. Please, refuse to fall into his trap. Jesus said that his Father never left him alone because he pleased him. Maintaining the presence of God in our lives is very critical as the journey towards perfection continues.
2 Timothy 2:21 (If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. 22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart).
The Old Testament priests and prophets consecrate themselves for the spirit of God to manifest in their lives. The spirit of God comes in and out of them. David was anointed, and the Spirit of God entered him. Saul was anointed, and he began to prophecy. God does not use defiled vessels; do not be deceived; He is still looking for anyone who will choose consecration so that He can use them as his vessels.
We, the new covenant Priests, were not sanctified from the womb, and that is why we need to give our lives to Jesus and remain sanctified. We need to consciously accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour to submit ourselves to sanctification. The Holy Spirit will not jump on you; He comes into our lives as a result of our choice to accept him.
The sacrifice of Jesus Christ has made it possible for the Spirit of God to dwell in a man permanently. But until a man decides to accept the gift of the Holy Spirit by confessing Jesus Christ as his Lord and saviour, he will not have him. Salvation is a gift, but you need to accept it; if not, you will remain in darkness, but that will not be you, in Jesus name,
The reason you need to maintain sanctification is to represent God fully here on earth, because without the Holy Spirit, you cannot be a true representative of God.
Acts 1:8 (But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth).
Friends, without sanctification, the manifestation of destiny would be an illusion; that is why you should cherish your salvation and keep yourself holy, ready for the master's use. If you are not a child of God, you are not part of this discussion. Jesus Christ wants you to accept his gift by saying yes to his invitation into your life. Please quickly accept his request by praying the salvation prayer below and be part of his family, in Jesus name.
Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins and accept You as my Lord and Saviour. I believe you died for me to make me a new man/woman. Forgive me all my sins, wash me with your blood, and give me a new heart. Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul. Now I believe I am born again. And I am a child of God. Amen!
