For Sanctification
(by Bill Stevenson)
Jesus Christ did not come on Earth in Human form in the beginning of the New Testament times to only
satisfy His Father’s death penalty of sin and He did not come to destroy all of the Old Testament
Commandments by His unfair, necessary, crucifixion death for those who believe in the Gospel.
[Matthew 5:17-20] His life exemplified perfect unselfish righteous living, obeying all of His Father’s
expectations and hopes for human beings in living to loving Him and for His pleasure. As each true
Christian gets to know Jesus Christ and the Bible better, he or she should gradually make changes in his
or her thinking and doing in obeying more of the right attitude and action commandments found in the
Word of God. Then he or she will be pleasing God the Father more and more because they love Him
increasingly. Please read Philippians 2-3, Ephesians 1:4-14, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Ephesians 4:1-16, and 1
John 4:6-21 before going on.
Jesus said to His disciples that if they love Him, they would keep His commandments and the Epistle
writers indicated that true Christians should become more and more Christ-like by thinking and doing in
moral and ethical ways-- Sanctification. Read John 14:6 & 21-24, 15:9-17 and 1 John 2:1-6 & 5:2-3
before going on. Most church-going Christians do not know what it takes to live a Heavenly lifestyle
because they are not studying and their church leadership are not teaching the New Testament Gospels
and Epistles verse by verse. I believe that this is because the commandments in the just mentioned
Scripture are too convicting or/and controversial for most individuals. Usually just the stories in the Bible
and prophecy are the only Bible teaching in most Christian churches. So I decided to collate a collection
of the commandments that will help true Christians understand what changes are required before Jesus
Christ comes back. Sanctification is not automatic!! Bad habits need to be stopped and replaced by
good, God-pleasing habits. This implies that true Christianity is based on special relating, not just going
through religious ceremonies and traditions in church.
