Using the “scientific” OPEC method
helped me to clarify the
differences
between “recovery” and sanctification.
Recovery is a medical term and is limited to
the physical/material body (the flesh).
Recovery
is what we do for ourselves — working hard to abstain from addictive behavior.
Sanctification is what God (the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit) does for us —
helping us to abstain from sin. God
is preparing our immortal souls for eternity with Him.
Are you in recovery or in Jesus?
Are you
following the crowd or are you following Jesus?
Are you
being conformed into the image and likeness of Jesus?
“Now the
Lord is the Spirit;
and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
But we all ... are being transformed into the same image from glory to
glory,
just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
2 Corinthians 3:17-18 NKJV
May our precious Lord enrich your spiritual life daily
by His Spirit!
