“Put off your old self … and put on the new self” (Colossians 3:5, 8). Doing that requires a holy desire. Having theological knowledge and having biblical convictions do not guarantee holy desire. A desire to please God more than pleasing, pleasuring, or indulging self. A desire based on awe and reverence and respect for God, along with love and adoration and devotion to God. Sanctification is when He is the greater pleasure, when He is the greater desire. Therefore, sanctification is submitting ourselves to the Holy Spirit and inviting Him to mold us into the image of Christ, so that we become more and more like Jesus every day and in every way.
