Repentance is not a dirty word. We must revisit the process of sanctification in our lives. Sanctification is the process of daily renewal and repentance is a key part of that process. Sanctification The process of separating from sin and evil, and being transformed into the image of God. It's an ongoing process that takes place between justification and glorification. Repentance A lifestyle of acknowledging and confessing sins, and asking for forgiveness. It's a way of receiving God's fatherly discipline and growing closer to Him. Daily renewal The practice of sanctification and repentance on a daily basis Here are some Bible verses about sanctification: 2 Timothy 2:21: "Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth" 1 Thessalonians 5:23: "Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" Romans 6:19: "Present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification" Romans 6:22: "The fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life" Hebrews 10:14: "For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified" 1 Thessalonians 4:4: "Each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable" Romans 8:13: "Put to death the “misdeeds of the body”" 1 Corinthians 6:18: "Flee immorality" 2 Corinthians 7:1: "Cleanse ourselves from every defilement" 2 Peter 1:5-11: "Make every effort to supplement our faith" Sanctification is a vital aspect of the Christian faith that involves a continuous process of becoming more like Jesus and removing the desire to sin. It's a journey towards holiness and spiritual maturity that's driven by the Holy Spirit.
