Sanctification Is The Remedy For Inbred Sin

Wednesday 7th January 

Text: 1 Corinthians 3:1-8.

Key verse: Psalms 51:7 "Purge me with hyssop and I shall be clean, wash me and I shall be whiter than snow."

It is commonly known of believers that after salvation experience, the heart still shows up some filth, revealed by time and circumstances. You may not notice it immediately you are born again, because of the joy and happiness accompanying salvation, but with time, as you remain a Christian, you will begin to have some tensions and feelings that you do not actually approve of. This is the manifestation of inherited or inbred sin. These are not actual sins of fornication, drunkenness and others which you no longer commit. This one deals with the heart. That is why God said, "My son, give Me your heart. I want to make it righteous. I want to do another operation on the heart that will make it whiter than snow." God says so because even among the disciples of Jesus, He observed a lifestyle that showed filth and dirt. And there was also a strife among them, ‘which of them should be accounted the greatest.’

They were children of God, but self-seeking and self-promotion were manifested in them. They were not thinking of how to glorify God only. Holiness had not been achieved completely in their lives, because there was still fleshly struggle. Although, they may not act openly to avoid embarrassment, within them there was a struggle on who is better than the other. There is a desire to be known. God makes a man known, but you want to make yourself known. You want to announce your good works. You want people to know that you are different, carrying different anointing. Everybody should know everywhere that you are special. Allow God to bring you to a state that you will not be seeking your own glory. When you seek self-glory, it shows dirt is still in your life, you are not yet clean. Sanctification is required for the cleanliness that makes holiness easy, peaceful and brightens your life before men. Salvation does in a sinner what initial washing does to a dirty cloth. Sanctification does to a believer what rinsing does to a washed cloth.

Thought For The Day:  Sanctification is required for holiness.

Song For The Day: Do something new in my life, something new in my life I pray.
