Deeper Life #17

And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

—Acts 15:9

DO YOU REALIZE THAT YOU can be one with Jesus, as He is one with God? Christ’s patience, holiness, purity, gentleness, prayerfulness, and faith can be so personally yours that you can say with the apostle Paul, “I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me” (Galatians 2:20).

God works this unspeakable mystery of entire sanctification in your life and mine. People try to seek the experience of entire sanctification in ways other than God’s way; but the wonderful Spirit of God will remove confusion and enable us to see that the only means to obtain the experience of entire sanctification by faith is the grace of God.

Launch out in simple faith and ask God to make the sanctification of the New Testament yours. The unsearchable riches of Jesus Christ can be yours.

Prayer Thought: I praise You, dear Lord, for the truth of sanctification in Your Word.
