Victory In Christ

We don’t hear much these days about the importance of holiness, sanctification, and purity. But the Word is very clear that Believers are to cleanse themselves from works of the flesh.

“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord ~~ Hebrews 12:14.

“My dear friends, you have always obeyed, not only when I was with you but even more now that I’m absent. In the same way continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling” ~~ Philippians 2:12 (GW).

“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,  idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God” ~~ Galatians 5:19-21.

“Having, then, these promises, beloved, may we cleanse ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God” ~~ 2 Corinthians 7:1 (Youngs).

“Examine yourselves to see whether you are still in the Christian faith. Test yourselves! Don’t you recognize that you are people in whom Jesus Christ lives? Could it be that you’re failing the test?” ~~ 2 Corinthians 13:5 (GW).
