Do you have a desire to be Holy? Are you on a quest for sanctification, or is leading the life of a new believer enough for you? We can exist on the margins of faith by simply believing that God is the one true God, and that Jesus is His Son, but if we want to move past this elementary existence, we must fully open ourselves up by coming into relationship with Them, by allowing Them to abide in us and us in Them. We must become all that Jesus teaches us of the nature of God, and we must allow God Himself to sanctify us by imparting His Holiness in us through Christ, and then by shining forth with the glow of His glory. Holiness, this is God’s true desire for us.

We are transformed by our faith, and become new creatures in Christ, but this is not a change that is completed the instant we first believe. We do experience a sudden change that is truly amazing, but then the longer process of refinement begins as day by day we are led to perfect ourselves further. Over the course of our relationship with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, we are shown the more subtle fleshy faults in ourselves, faults that we must pray about, and lean on God, as His children, for help in removing.
