Kingdom Principle:
Sanctification is the ongoing process of being made holy through the work of the Holy Spirit, transforming our entire being.
Misconception:
Some believe that certain lifestyles or identities are beyond God's transformative power. However, in Christ, anyone can be sanctified and made new.
Scripture:
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (ESV) - "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."
Discussion Questions:
1. How does the sanctification process challenge our preconceived notions about who can be transformed by God?
2. In what ways can we support and encourage each other in our journeys of sanctification?
