What does the Word say about sanctification?
1 THESSALONIANS 4:1,3-5,7
1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren,
and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye
have received of us HOW YE OUGHT TO WALK
and TO PLEASE GOD, so ye would abound more
and more....
3 For this is the will of God, even your
SANCTIFICATION, that ye should abstain from
FORNICATION:
4 THAT EVERY ONE OF YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW
TO POSSESS HIS VESSEL IN SANCTIFICATION
AND HONOR;
5 Not in the LUST of concupiscence, even as the
Gentiles which know not God....
7 For God hath not called us unto
UNCLEANNESS, but UNTO HOLINESS.
Those two words, "uncleanness" and "holiness," in
verse 7 have to do with the believers' spiritual walk
with the Lord mentioned in verse 1. Believers can't
walk in uncleanness and please God. They'll have to
walk in holiness to please Him.
Paul used the word "uncleanness" in verse 7. He just
mentioned fornication and the lust of concupiscence in
verses 3 and 5. "Concupiscence" means a desire for
what is forbidden. Let's see how Paul uses this word
"uncleanness" in his epistles, because if you walk in
sanctification and holiness you won't give place to the
devil.
