"Yet though the work of Christ is finished for the sinner, it is not yet finished in the sinner." - Donald G. Bloesch
we sorta had a mini discussion during WFL today. whether it is possible for one to be truly holy, and whether holiness means God's perfection. hmm seems rather confusing doesnt it? haha. i think it touches on the aspect of progressive sanctification(compared to positional sanctification).
"14because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy." - Hebrews 10:14
"has made perfect "- positional sanctification
"being made holy" - progressive sanctification
thus, as we continue to walk in the spirit, walking blameless lives as best we know how, we begin to develop in our own walk with God. being made holy, towards His perfection. basically, a daily development. and that's possible for God's Spirit in us! and that's just the very thing i love about having a relationship with God. it's a progession, a continuum. and i guess there are times when the scale is tipped towards one extreme over the other. like are we not progressing in our relationship with God despite serving Him?
yeah, actually that's one of my camp objectives. to keep the main things main, and that is my own walk with God. like what jontay says, at the end of the day all that matters is your own walk with God. such a powerful truth dont you think?
God, refresh my spirit!
