repentance after the godly sorrow brings a purified heart. no more boasting, no more hardness. but rather a meekness and humble heart, good for the master's use.So many do not understand bible sanctification. Sanctification comes with conversion, 100% part and parcel of conversion. Obviously when we speak of it, it may seem like something of its own but there is no such thing as conversion without sanctification. So what is this part of conversion referred to as sanctification. Start with what it is NOT. Sanctification is not a forever process of sinning and confessing and in 10 years after conversion you may be sinning say 10% or 20% less than before conversion. That type of idea is not sanctification, has nothing to do with sanctification or conversion. So what is sanctification? Lets think of that corn plant Jesus spoke of...corn planted (perfect seed)...blade comes up (perfect tiny plant)….developing ear (perfect at this stage too)..then full corn in the ear (perfectly mature). Sanctification starts with conversion and is a process of 100% YES lord. It is never a process of yes and no lord with a little less no as we go. Our Savior is a now savior and as we all know Christ saves from the curse of the law and from the curse of breaking the law...its called conversion, transformation, new man, new creature, all things new.
2Corinthians 7:9-11 As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us. For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death. For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, but also what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! At every point you have proved yourselves innocent in the matter.
praise His Holy name. what clearing, what zeal. no double-minded no hard of heart. but a heart of flesh, given by the Lord, single-minded on Christ. focused on life, focused on righteousness. thank you Jesus for all
