Scripture:
John 17:17
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Ephesians 5:26
that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
1 Thessalonians 5:23
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 13:12
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
Pay close attention to 1Thes 5:23….. sanctify you WHOLLY…. your whole SPIRIT AND SOUL AND BODY be preserved BLAMELESS unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He that endueth unto the END SHALL BE SAVED.
Yet in spite of these and many more scripture proofs, that God requires us to be sanctified or HOLY, the vast majority of churches/preachers and their people, say that we cannot be Holy or sanctified.
So who are you going to believe….. them or these verses above? and there are many more.
God shows here that it takes the Word of God, engrafted into your minds and souls to sanctify you. Yet most of you never open the Word up and read it. You care nothing for it. So how are you ever going to become sanctified? Oh sure, I know that many denominations even sneers at this word, SANCTIFICATION. Yet you will not have salvation without it.
Some say, well I have this problem; I have this lust or covetousness and I cannot stop it.
Then you prove that you do not wish to be sanctified or Holy. You prove you are not seeking for God to deliver you and sanctify you.
There is nothing that God cannot and will not deliver you of or from, IF YOU ASK HIM. If you do not ask him, then you do show that you love your sin and have no intention of repenting and living a holy life, sanctified to God.
If that is the case then God will reject you and send you to hell. He sent Cain, why would he not send you?
Some people make the same mistake which some did in Scripture when they asked Paul, shall we sin because we are in grace and not under the law? Paul said GOD FORBID.
So there you have it. No way out of it. You simply must get your life sanctified and clean and Holy if you hope to end up with eternal life.
You, and I mean almost all of you, think you can continue with your idols and make it to heaven. That is just simply self-deception. You prove here that you do not wish to or mean to ever be sanctified to God. Then he will say to you, the same thing he said to the old Israelites … you had your idols with you the whole time you were in the wilderness.
He cut them off for they refused to give up their idols and serve Him and Him only. He still requires that of all today.
So when you have any holiday, you are keeping your idols. THEY ARE ALL IDOLS. You show to God that you have no intention of quitting your sins. You refuse to repent. So you have no salvation.
If you think your holidays are not idols and are accepted by God, then show me one verse of Scripture which agrees with this. It is simply not there and you all know it. You cannot offer these idols or heathen ways of doing to God and expect Him to accept it or you.
Like it or not, this is the gospel truth.
