Sanctification Of Overcoming Believers, The

Sanctification has a dual meaning: either to prepare believers to be holy, by cleansing them, or to set apart believers and things for holy use in God's Master Plan and Purposive Will. In either instance, the word sanctification connotes cleanness or purity. Both meanings also carry the thought of separation from uncleanness and from all else but use in God's Kingdom. Examples appear in this book that represent what must be cast out of believers' personal temples before they can be sanctified wholly unto the LORD. Examples include Jesus' cleansing of the Temple; the casting out of heathen nations in Canaan's Land; the twelve defiling evils depicted by women in the Books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes; and the thirteen degrees of vain vexations of the spirit covered in the Book of Ecclesiastes.
