“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 the Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it” (I Thessalonians 5:23-24)
The word “sanctify” means to be set apart. It comes from the same root as the word “saint.” Believers, Christians, are set apart. We are saints. You were not made a saint by a vote of some men impressed with your good deeds. Neither will you need to wait hundreds of years for that decision to be made by some earthly counsel of men. You were made a saint, or set apart to the Lord, when you accepted Christ as your Savior.
You have been set apart completely-spirit, soul and body, and will be preserved blameless by Him until the coming again of the Lord Jesus Christ. You are safe because you are saved.
If you have not received Christ as your Savior I pray that you will take care of that before it is too late.
