Invitation to Holiness | Susana Shaklee

In this powerful message, we're invited to explore the transformative journey of sanctification - the process of becoming more like Christ. The key insight is that sanctification, like justification, is by grace through faith. We're not called to 'white-knuckle' our way to holiness, but to surrender to God's molding hands. The message draws parallels between our three-part being (spirit, soul, and body) and the three parts of the temple, emphasizing how God works in each area. A crucial step in this journey is consecration - choosing to make Jesus not just our Savior, but our Lord and King. This act of surrender is likened to stepping into the depths of God's ocean, allowing Him to fill us as we empty ourselves. The message challenges us to consider: do people recognize that we've been with Jesus? Are we known by God, not just knowing about Him? As we contemplate these questions, we're encouraged to dive deeper into God's presence, finding peace in His depths rather than being tossed about in the shallows of life.
