Sanctified Saints (6 of 8)

I Peter 1:13-21
Do you remember your days in High School?
Do you remember being asked questions on tests and you didn't know the answer?
What did you do when that happened?
(Some left the space blank, others made it up)

Q: Briefly explain what hard water is.
A: Ice
Q: What ended in 1896?
A: 1895.
Q: Name the four seasons.
A: Salt, pepper, mustard and vinegar.
Q: How can you delay milk turning sour?
A: Keep it in the cow.
Q: What is the fibula?
A: A small lie.
Q: What is a seizure?
A: A Roman emperor.
Q: What does the word ''benign'' mean?
A: Benign is what you will be after you be eight.
Q: How are the main parts of the body categorized?
A: The body consists of 3 parts - the brainium, the borax and the abdominal cavity.
The brainium contains the brain,
The borax contains the heart and lungs
And the abdominal cavity contains the five bowels, A, E, I, O, and U.
Now my point here is that sometimes people don't know the answers… so they get creative. Some students have even found that the more impressive the answer the more likely others will believe they actually know what they're talking about.
That is especially true when it comes to theologians and Bible words.
Our word for today is ''Sanctification''.
For many people, this is a very intimidating Bible word.
And there are two reasons for that.
1st - Theologians have muddied the water by making word like this complicated, and the more complicated their explanations, the more intimidating it becomes for the rest of us.
One theologian (for example) explained sanctification this way:
''In a doctrinal sense, sanctification is the making truly and perfectly holy what was before defiled and sinful. It is a progressive work of divine grace upon the soul ju ...
