"But we ought always to thank God for you,
brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to be
saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the
truth."
{2 Thessalonians 2:13} (NIV 1984)
O how our Heavenly Father
has blessed us with His Spirit! This is the Day of Salvation, the age of the
gospel, the period of time in history set by the Father, in which all who hear
and believe the truth will be saved.
Our Lord told us that the Spirit would be
the One who gives us rebirth and Paul’s epistles spell the Spirit’s work out
further. The Spirit sanctifies us. He enters us at the point of belief, He puts
our sin nature to death, and brings alive a new person in Christ. The Spirit
ties up the strong man and cleans house! God Himself in inside us, purifying us
for His glory! This work is a continual work, which will not end until we are
like Christ.
May we this day, cooperate with the Spirit, may we listen to His
still small voice. Sanctify us Lord!
