Substance of Sanctification
John 17:17, Ephesians 5:26, Hebrews 13:12
In the days of old, the blood of goats provides temporal sanctification for the people, Leviticus 16:10-17. This do not totally sanctifies the sinners but provides a temporal access to the things of God.
The coming and dying of Jesus placed us under a better covenant and gave us a limitless access to the things of God, Hebrews 8:6; 12:24.
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 word sanctifies us from the wisdom and vain philosophies of this earth and by His word our lives take a new physical shape which began from the spiritual.
His blood sanctifies our spiritual state, mark and quantifies us as righteous and holy before His father.
May we never lack Grace.
Shalom!

Though Balaam hears from God but he wasn’t doing things according to God’s plan and agenda. He planned to even make God’s children fall. Please read Revelation 2:14 and Jude 1:11. Those in sheep’s c
