Corinthians 6:11
And that is what some of you were. But
you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the
Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (NIV)
Sanctified
The word “sanctified” means to be set
apart. When we accept Jesus as our Lord
and Savior, God sets us apart. He
expects us to be different from those who are not sanctified. He has a specific purpose for us. Can people tell that we are different from
the unbelievers? Do we have to wear a
cross around our neck or have some kind of Christian symbol on our car for
people to know we are different? They
should be able to tell by our speech what we do, what we don’t do and even how
we drive. Think about what you did
yesterday, what you said, what you didn’t do and how you drove. Were you a reflection of Jesus? Let us practice being true to our
sanctification. Let us demonstrate to
the world how a sanctified person acts, speaks and the things we don’t do. Let us consistently honor our calling to
follow our Lord Jesus, God’s Son, by reflecting Him in all we are.
