How do people view you? Do they see Jesus in you as you walk out your calling? Do they see your sanctification at work? At home? In your prayer life?

We must accept that our true identity is as God’s chosen ones, allowing him to work on us. As we surrender to Jesus, we become more forgiving and loving, able to check our motives and actions through the lens of His truth.

We have been set apart to set our minds on things above. As Christians, we are instructed to put off the old ways of life- sexual immorality, impurity, anger, wrath, malice, lying; and put on our new selves, revealing a desire to become like Christ and separating from the world.

Sanctification is the act of becoming more personally dedicated to God; especially by becoming more distinct, devoted, or morally pure. Sanctification is a daily, lifetime process. When we focus on why God takes us through this process, instead of our circumstances, we are able to direct our focus to Him.
