Since I can remember, I’ve always been a church kid and often heard the word “sanctification.”
First off, we are growing together, and you get to hear all about my journey. It’s a wild one! 😂 Feel free to share your journey in the comments; I’d love to hear about it. Now, back to the word “sanctification.” What does it really mean?
I define it as the process that begins when you say yes to Jesus. For most, it’s a journey of learning more about God and what it means to be a Christian. Key word: process! It usually doesn’t happen overnight, though it can.
In my journey as a Christian, I’ve experienced seasons of learning and unlearning many things.
Of course, there are major things I’ve stopped doing, but in this season, I’m focusing on the small, often overlooked aspects—like asking for forgiveness, being mindful of my environment, watching what I say and do, and my attitude. 😬 I might have to write a blog called “Watch Your Mouth” later. Woosah.
I realize that, for some people, I might be the only representation of Jesus they know. So, I often ask myself if my behavior aligns with biblical principles when I interact with them. Would Jesus smile at my actions?
I hope you noticed I said I’m working on this with God’s help. My goal isn’t perfection, but I do expect to get better. The more you practice holy or biblical principles, the more likely you are to choose them when faced with decisions. Through introspection, I’ve learned that sometimes what God desires of me makes me feel crazy—but then I realize it’s not about me. My existence is to glorify Him.
