I continue on the topic of
sanctification. Remember sanctification
is “the work of God's free grace, whereby we are renewed in the whole man after
the image of God, and are enabled more and more to die unto sin, and live unto
righteousness.” (WSC Q.35)
Also remember in these posts we
are listing the role and work of Jesus Christ in our sanctification. Today we look at the forth way Jesus is
involved in our sanctification.
Jesus Christ according to the
will and purpose of God is our copy, our example of holiness. He in his humanity and divinity sets before the pattern and path of Christian
holiness. Therefore, we must keep his
Person always before us as the authority and pattern of holiness. No man, no psychological advise, no man made
law, and no mere moral resolution can be our example. Only Jesus is the standard. Look at 1 Peter 1:15 and 1 Peter 2:21. We are to walk in his steps.
So, in your Christian life look
with faith to Christ’s love, patience, long-suffering, mercy, humility, hatred
of sin, zeal, and truth. And then by
faith pore your life into him and his way.
Let him be your mould!
