Today's reading: Numbers 7:1-23

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
1 Corinthians 6:20

Born again Christians experience a twofold sanctification. In the first place, they are "sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all" (Hebrews 10:10), that is, they have been separated for God from the world and sin. From the moment of conversion, that is their unalterable position: every believer is a saint by the calling and will of God. This aspect of sanctification, which we might call absolute sanctification, is founded immutably on the work of Christ and is therefore perfect. Nothing can be added to it, not even by personal faithfulness.
But we are also called upon to pursue holiness" practically, "without which no-one will see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14). We are called upon to dedicate our hearts and lives to God faithfully and devotedly. God has purchased us with the precious blood of His only begotten Son; we now belong wholly to Him, so that half measure would mean a breach of faith, "robbing temples", so to speak (cf. ).
If anyone had robbed the altar under the Old Covenant by stealing the sacrifice brought for God in order to satisfy His hunger, it would have been less sad and dishonouring to God than when a believer for whom Christ died now lives for himself, presenting his limbs as "instruments of unrighteousness to sin" (Romans 6:13). Yet how easily and how often that happens!
Let us remember that we no longer belong to ourselves! We have been "bought at a price". Is it not a precious privilege to be able to forget oneself and serve the One who loved us so much?
