Not Instant

Sanctification, like spiritual formation, is a life-long process on earth, not an instant cure for all problems.


Meditation:


Romans 12:1-2



"Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will."
