Your Sanctification
Doctrine – Theology by
Charles H. Spurgeon
How could we know if God chooses us? What is our position on His sight? What does it mean to be set apart? Does it mean that we have to be blameless first before He can choose us? Or can He still use our lives despite our imperfections?
Sanctification is a word that Spurgeon had taken a long time before he could clearly understand its meaning. He examined the three implications of sanctification in the Old Testament – to set apart, to declare holy, and to make holy. He also explained the beginning and end of the process.
In this 30-pages work, Spurgeon shared what he thought was the connotation of sanctification after hours of meditation and seeking illumination from the Holy Spirit. We can see that even if we are flawed as human beings, we can still serve Him. We are sanctified not because we are holy but because He chose us.
