I've been thinking about sanctification... 'to be set apart for special purpose'... and I think that we all are being set apart for special purpose... isn't that what it means to be compelled to follow Jesus?
I'm learning that things like sanctification and transformation (and other words that end with 'tion') have some ambiguity around the amount of time it takes to become those things...
I don't believe one can make a case (Biblically) that God is all that interested in arrival, efficiency or destination. Although those are ideas I find compelling because they are comforting. Arrival, efficiency, and destination remove the possibility of sanctification, and transformation because the focus is on the end result not the process...
We might ask ourselves; "In what ways are we more like Jesus today than we were yesterday?," or, "What areas of life does God want to transform?"
Maybe our questions that we reflect on have something to do with our (un)willingness to embrace Sanctification and transformation?
Thoughts?
