"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." (1 Thessalonians 5:23)
Today's meditation verse emphasizes the necessity of being sanctified completely—spirit, soul, and body—so that we may be worthy of Christ’s second coming. True holiness, as considered by Jesus Christ, is complete sanctification in every aspect of our being. This is why Apostle Paul declares, "For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication." (1 Thessalonians 4:3).
However, as human beings, we are weak. We cannot achieve this sanctification by our own efforts. We need the power of God to attain it. This is precisely why Paul states, "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly." Yes, beloved, only God can sanctify us completely because He alone fully understands our weaknesses.
When we truly desire holiness and confess our weaknesses and sins before Him, He will help us. Did He not tell Apostle Paul, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12:9)? Yes, dear ones, only when God’s abundant grace works in us can we separate ourselves from the impurities of the world and be completely sanctified in spirit, soul, and body.
Furthermore, in today's meditation verse, the phrase "the very God of peace" appears first. This signifies that our God is a God who grants peace. We see that wherever our Lord Jesus Christ went, He blessed people, saying, "Peace be unto you." If we desire God’s grace to work in our lives, it is essential for us to live in peace with others.
In other words, to receive the grace of the God of peace, we must be peacemakers. Peace is the first step toward holiness. The Scripture affirms this, saying, "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord." (Hebrews 12:14).
Therefore, let us yield ourselves to the God of peace, allowing Him to sanctify us completely. Let us live in peace with everyone and seek the grace of the Lord. Then, our spirit, soul, and body will be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. May the grace of God be with us all! Amen.
