Episode notes
Begin Scripture Study By Asking God To Illuminate
- Prepare to read Scripture by asking God to make the Bible live to you and show yourself, yourself, and your Savior.
- Begg models this opening prayer before studying John 17 to align readers' hearts with God's truth.
Sanctification Is God Making Us Like Jesus
- Sanctification is God's work to make believers more like Jesus through the Holy Spirit.
- Alistair Begg ties John 17 and Romans 8 to show God both justifies and progressively conforms us to Christ's image.
Holy Means Set Apart For God
- In the Old Testament holy means set apart for a specific use, and sanctification carries that same meaning for people and objects.
- Begg notes disciples would understand sanctify as being set apart from one use and set apart to another use for God.
“What is God doing with me?” Alistair Begg helps us consider this question as we examine Jesus’ request that His disciples would be sanctified. What does biblical sanctification mean? Who is sanctified, and how does it happen? Hear the answers on Truth For Life.
