If you have been saved, you have also been sanctified. Most Christians recognize the sin that dwells within them even though they are saved. They feel the need to be purified in thought and in deed. But Jesus accomplished all of this on the Cross. The Christian life should be driven by thankfulness, service and prayer. It should manifest itself in profound humility. The saint needs also to take some responsibilty for their attitude. Even though the authhority is Christ's and the One who imparts new life is the Holy Spirit, the saint should cooperate with this transformation by yielding to Christ and committing themselves to devotion. All that Christ promised you He has already given. It is now up to you to sieze it by not either grieving nor quencing the work of the Spirit.
Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, You love us even though we are quite unlovable. Let us live out the new life You have given us on the Cross. Let not the saint win the prize and forget to claim it. Instead, let us put on the new man and walk in newness of life. In Your Holy Name I pray Amen.
