Set Apart

1 Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

THE MEANING OF SANCTIFICATION
The term for 'sanctification' as used in the New Covenant is HAGIOSMOS  and means basically 'set apart', in the sense  of being set apart from all else and dedicated  for the Master Use (God).  

Sanctification is that work of the Holy Spirit by which the child of God is separated 
from sin unto God and is enabled to love God with all the heart and to walk in all His holy commandments blameless. Sanctification is initiated at the moment of justification and regeneration.

John 17:17  Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

Sanctification is applied to the process which refers to the ongoing, progressive 
of the believer into the image of Christ in fact, our ultimate conformation to our Savior image was predestined by God "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers." Romans 8:28‑29, simply put, sanctification means that day-by-day you and I are to become more and more like Jesus it is a process which happens naturally in a practicing Christian's life the Apostle Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 that God himself, the God of peace will sanctify us through and through.

What better person to give your life to after all He created you, He knows you better than you know yourself. Come under the Almighty God and allow Him to do a work in you. Surrender to Jesus and separate yourself form this world. You may ask how do I separate? Do not be confirmed to this world do not love the things of this world turn your heart and mind to Jesus He will help you the rest. God Bless,
