In order to be sanctified unto Jesus Christ, one will go through spiritual warfare. Jesus says to "Come unto Me" while the powers of the world tell us to put our trust in ourselves. Salvation and sanctification both originate in the same place which is the trust in Jesus Christ's work on the cross. Salvation is a free gift, a work of Christ. Sanctification this side of heaven is painful for the believer, because it means the setting aside of all worldly treasure and identifying with Christ and the cross and dying to yourself so that you can live for Christ.
Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, it is necessary and good to die to one's own self. In our flesh, we can do no good thing. Let us instead walk by the spirit, so that we do not fulfill the desires of the flesh. Amen.
