John 17:17, Ephesians 5:26, Hebrews 13:12

Today, believers in Christ Jesus are sanctified through His Word and His Blood. This sanctification is not a physical process by a spiritual once which is carries out by believing. Sanctification provided by Jesus is available to all but only accessible to those that believes in His.

His blood sanctifies our spiritual state, mark and quantifies us as righteous and holy before His father.
May we never lack Grace.
Shalom!

[Hebrews 6:4]. Thirdly, looking back will make the person not to complete whatever he or she has started. This is w...
