All ways of living can be sanctified, and for each individual, the ideal way is that to which our Lord leads him through the natural development of his tastes and the pressure of circumstances.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Believe in the doctrine of perfect sanctification attainable in this life.
There are no soft or slothful ways to become sanctified to the point that we are prepared to live in the presence of the Savior. And there can be blessings in the burdens we bear. As a result of these struggles, our souls are stretched and our spirits are strengthened. Our character becomes more Christlike as we are tried and tested.
Sanctification is the real change in man from the sordidness of sin to the purity of God's image.
Lord sanctify us. Oh! That Thy spirit might come and saturate every faculty, subdue every passion, and use every power of our nature for obedience to God.
Sanctification consists of the daily realization that in Christ we have died, and in Christ we have been raised.
Thus first of all in His own person He sanctified, restored, and blessed human nature.
Sanctification is the work of the Holy Spirit in us whereby our inner being is progressively changed, freeing us more and more from sinful traits and developing within us over time the virtues of Christlike character.
The sacred duty of being an individual is to gradually learn how to live so as to awaken the eternal within you.
I consider that all which lives must feed itself and nourish itself in a manner suitable to the way in which it lives.
In short, all things that please the natural man in this world, are, to a true Christian, only so many crosses and temptations, allurements of sin and snares of death, that continually exercise his virtue.
