Taking on Sainthood: For those who are SEEKING after HOLINESS and aren't afraid to find it.
Description:
Taking on Sainthood was written for the purpose of discipleship. Teaching the church the power of God's word that separates soul from spirit, joint (the mechanics of life) from marrow (the essence of life) and judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart. The simplicity of the gospel will always rule over the intricacies of life and walking in the Spirit of God allows us to keep an eternal perspective in a temporal world, making spiritual sense out of temporal circumstances.Taking on Sainthood reminds the believer that they have the power to become and that who we were in the world is no longer who we are in Christ. Trials become testimonies when we lose our history in His story and embrace the position of saint, acknowledging sin but no longer being labeled by it and practicing righteousness as taught in scripture. When we allow God's word to define who we are everything changes. Our thoughts flow through the mind of Christ, our words echo the principles of God's word and our actions reflect our love for Jesus. God's word commands the church to seek after holiness and not be afraid of its calling to be like Jesus in a lost world. Too often we are distracted by our feelings and not fortified in faith, knowing that our pursuit of excellence is a worthy and achievable call in the life of a believer. 2 Peter 1:3 tells us, "seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence."
