Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional for Teens

TOPIC: Sanctification (Open Heaven for Teens 5 September 2024)

MEMORISE: By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Hebrews 10:10

READ: Ephesians 5:26-27

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

MESSAGE

Sanctification is the process of becoming more like Jesus Christ in thoughts, words, and actions. It also refers to being set apart for God’s use. Sanctification is in stages; the first stage occurs at the point of salvation when a sinner surrenders his or her totality to Jesus Christ. Today’s memory verse explains this.

The second stage occurs when the new believer studies and meditates on the word of God. He or she becomes sanctified by the word according to John 17:17, which says: “Sanctify them by your truth; your word is truth.” It is this level of sanctification that brings about transformation. It starts from the heart, and as one grows through the word, it is reflected in actions (Romans 12:2). This growth is what makes it possible for a chronic liar to become an honest fellow. Thus, the process of sanctification is not a one-off event; it is a lifelong journey.

The final stage of sanctification will occur when we shed our terrestrial bodies, which can still accommodate sin, and put on celestial bodies like Jesus’ after His resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:51-53). How glorious will that be?
