The Meaning of my blog title
1 Thessalonians 4:3 says this:
“For this is the will of God, even your sanctification…”
The Greek word hagiosmos (sanctification) clearly means to be set apart, separate from, distinct and holy. In the context of this verse, it means ‘set apart’ from all kinds of temptation. But there are many other New Testament verses that make it clear God wants us to be separated unto Himself in every dimension of our lives – and as far away from the principles, pleasures and pursuits that characterize this world as we can possibly be.
It’s a daily process. The more I dig into my Bible and spend time alone with my Lord in prayer, the closer I will be drawn to Him. The equation is simple: Closer to Christ – Further from the World. The more I get to know Christ daily, the less appealing the fun, fashions, fortunes and functions of this world will be to me. Which direction am I moving towards?
Lord may your Holy Spirit continue to remind us we're being set apart.
