B V O V : 2 9 trash of the world. So, go ahead and sell out to Him. Don't hold anything back. Dedicate yourself to His Word and live in contact with Him, so you can walk in love toward all men and in holiness, just like He said. "But Gloria, I just don't have enough willpower to do that." You don't do it by willpower. You do it by faith. You do it by believing what 1 Corinthians 1:30 says: "[You are] in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification and redemption." Let me ask you something. Do you receive wisdom from God by exerting your willpower? No. According to James 1:5-6, if you need wisdom, you just ask and receive it by faith. Do you receive righteousness and redemption by willpower and your own human efforts? No. According to Ephesians 2:8, you receive them by faith, as a gift from God. Obviously then, sanctification (or holiness) must be received the same way. It wouldn't be the only one in that list that you have to work up on your own. Holiness becomes yours the same way wisdom, righteousness, and redemption do—through faith in Jesus. ose of us who've been around faith teaching have learned a lot over the years about how to believe and receive.

For us to become sanctified lives. For us to become known not only as faith people, but as known not only as faith people, but as holy (holiness) people. holy (holiness) people. First Corinthians 1:2 says we are First Corinthians 1:2 says we are the Church of God, "consecrated the Church of God, "consecrated and purified and made holy in Christ and purified and made holy in Christ Jesus" (AMPC). Let's believe it and Let's believe it and make a quality decision to go for God make a quality decision to go for God 100 percent. Let's move into this 100 percent. Let's move into this final frontier of holiness, expect God final frontier of holiness, expect God to manifest Himself in greater ways to manifest Himself in greater ways among us, and let all men see the glory among us, and let all men see the glory of God! The book of Acts says that after Jesus The book of Acts says that after Jesus ascended, after He was seated at the ascended, after He was seated at the right hand of the Father, "he through the right hand of the Father, "he through the Holy Ghost…showed himself alive after Holy Ghost…showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs" his passion by many infallible proofs" (Acts 1:2-3). That's you and me! Our lives are the That's you and me! Our lives are the infallible proof of His love and power. infallible proof of His love and power.
