 Yeah, we'll get started. So just before we went for the break, we were looking at how Aaron kind of provided a covering for those sacrifices which were brought. So they were not always perfect, but he kind of provided a covering for them in his role as priest. And so because of him, because of his presence, standing over there with that wording on the turban which says holy to the Lord, because he was acceptable to the Lord. Whatever he accepted on behalf of the people was also regarded as being acceptable to the Lord. And so in that sense, he kind of was providing a covering for these people who maybe could not afford very perfect sacrificial animals. Now, in the New Testament, we who are priests, we believers who are priests, we also kind of provide a covering for those who are maybe related to us or who are placed under us as part of our responsibility. So to an extent, we kind of provide a covering for them. We'll take the actual example given here in the scriptures and then we'll also see how we can apply that principle to other aspects as well. So to look at how this whole sanctification process works in a family setup. So if someone could read out for us, 1 Corinthians chapter seven versus 12 to 14, 1 Corinthians chapter seven versus 12 to 14. 2 Corinthians chapter seven versus 12 to 14. To the rest, I say this. I not the Lord. If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she's willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he's willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean but as it is, they are holy. Okay, so now over here in this passage where it talks about how the believer sanctifies the rest of their family members even if they're unbelievers. It's of course not saying that they get salvation. Okay, so just because a person is a believer and that believer is related to the rest of the family members, the rest of the family members do not get salvation just because of the believer. It does not work that way because we know that salvation is based completely on faith. And it clearly says here that these other members of the family are unbelieving. They have not placed their faith in Jesus. So obviously it's not talking about salvation. You know, John 1, 12 to 13, it says, yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. Okay, so only those who believe in his name and place their faith in him and submit to him, they are the ones who are considered children of God. The rest of the people are not children of God. So over here in the first Corinthians seven passage, it is not saying that the unbelieving spouse and the unbelieving children will automatically become believers. No, it's not saying that. But they are kind of under the covering of this believer in the sense, now they will begin to enjoy all the covenant benefits, you know, which this believer is enjoying. For instance, if it's just the wife who has placed her faith in the Lord, because she has become a believer, God protects and shields her entire family. When it comes to matters of job and workplace, now because she is a believer, God will bless her work, God will promote her in a workplace. So she would earn a higher salary, she would bring more money into the home. So she is beginning to enjoy all the covenant blessings that are part of being a believer because she has chosen to come under God's covenant. The rest of the family members are indirectly enjoying the benefits of the covenant, but they themselves are not really members of the covenant as yet, okay? So in that indirect sense, they are enjoying the benefits. And what about the spiritual covering that the person is providing? So that lady, because she is a believer, she starts talking about what she's learning from the scriptures. So through her, her family members start hearing the word of God, okay? She may not quote the scriptures word to word, but you know, she just talks about the things that she's learning. And so indirectly in a way, they are hearing through her, they get into hear the words of God, they get into hear what God has to say about different things in the Bible. And even as they start hearing those things, there's a chance that the word of God will start working in their hearts. Also on a practical day-to-day level, they will literally see her changing into a different person. They can see the power of God working in her, making her a more patient person, a more wise and thoughtful person. They begin to see changes in her and they see the power there is in the word of God, how the word of God can literally change a person into someone else. So they get to see all of this and so they have the privilege of kind of being under the covering of a believer. And so who knows, that may draw them into God's presence. It may make them want to have God in the same way. And so that family is blessed because of the believer who is there amongst them. Now, what about a family where all our believers in such a family set up where all our believers, if the head of the family, the father, the husband, if he chooses to really be serious about his walk with the Lord and he's cooperating with the Lord so that the Lord is able to set him apart, make him more and more holy, really sanctifying him on a daily basis. If he is really serious about that, imagine what a great covering he would provide for his entire family because the more he becomes joined to the Lord, in sync with God and in all the different aspects of his life, the way he manages his money, the way he manages all the relationships within the family and with all the other relatives and friends and all of that, the decisions that he takes, the long-term plans that he takes on behalf of the family. He starts doing all of this with that one thought of honoring God in everything that he does and being very responsible as a husband and as a father. And he starts taking all of that very seriously. Imagine what an amazing covering that he's offering to his family members because the covenant blessings of God are going to start working in that home without any hindrance or obstacle because this man is allowing the clean, clear flow of God into his home. He's not blocking of God by having his own attitudes. He's not blocking of God by refusing to listen to God's guidance. All those blockages are going away one by one. He's allowing himself to be sanctified more and more. And so God's presence is able to flow through him into his family to a great extent. And that is the sad thing. A lot of men who are the spiritual heads of their home, they don't take their responsibility seriously. They assume that if they are earning enough, then they're doing enough for the family. So that money part is like such a minor thing because God's presence is so much more important. It can change every aspect of the family's life. And if this person, all his contribution to his family is that he's bringing in money, what a sad thing. On the other hand, if he's bringing in God's presence into that home, that God's presence can change everything for his, you know, for his wife, for his children. So rather than just bringing people who carry money into the home, if the heads of the family can be people who are literally carrying God's presence into the home, they can enrich the life of their family. So in that sense, you know, the fathers and the husbands especially are able to sanctify their family and any believer in fact, absolutely any believer is able to act as an agent of sanctification in that sense, where they are able to carry God's presence into that home set up. And because of them, things start changing in that home. So in that sense, we all have a role, a priestly role where not only are we getting sanctified, we are able to do something for our immediate family members. We are able to cause God's presence to flow into their lives through us. Now, there's a greater significance for those who are in leadership roles in the church. And by that, I don't mean that you need to be a full-time employee who's being paid by the church. Any volunteer, you know, any church volunteer who has dedicated themselves for a leadership role, you know, where they are running a cell group or where they have made a commitment that they're going to follow up with a few people and pray with them and disciple them and be there for them when they have questions and all of that. So these people who have committed themselves to different leadership roles in the church, whether or not they're full-time, it doesn't matter. So such people, they would have a great priestly role in what they are doing. And maybe we can look at a couple of verses which talk about that. Acts chapter 20 verse 28, if someone could read out. Acts 20 verse 28. Acts chapter 20 verse 28. Keep watch over yourself and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made the overseas. These shepherds of the church of God which he bought with his own blood. Now see these people are keeping watch over the flock. Okay, so they're going to be caring about the spiritual growth of these people who are in under their care. And when they are going through difficulties, just ordinary everyday issues regarding work, regarding health, regarding decisions that they need to make. So these people who are there to kind of guide them, pray for them, help them in reaching the right decisions, all of that. So they are watching out for the flock. And so in that sense, they have a priestly role where they are using their maturity in God. They are using that to be a blessing to the people for whom they have taken responsibility. So you could be just the leader of a Bible study and let us say maybe you have about five or six people in your group. You can be a great blessing to them because you're going to be praying for them, interceding for them. You're going to be sharing truths from the word of God which, and you're going to be teaching them so that they can live a better life, a more God centered life. So you become a priest where because of you, those people are getting spiritually covered in that sense. They're under your covering, your care. Because you are so committed in your little role of leadership, God literally uses you to bless them and to cause them to grow. And so all of us, in respect of whether we are full-time employees of a church or not, we can all be ministers in that sense. Even just a youngster, a youth who has kind of gone to God in prayer and said, Lord, this year I want to be a spiritual influence for five youngsters, just peers of his own age group. So he has made a commitment that he's going to be a godly influence on five persons. So the way he relates with them, the way he's there for them, when they are going through tough times, the way he reaches out and tries to help them in different things, all of those things that he's doing, God, you will start using him to influence their lives and change them. So in that sense, even though he's not even a leader in the church and it's not been recognized by the pastoral team as a leader, that guy just at his own level is providing a covering for the people whom he has taken under his care. So it can be something as informal as that, but you can start being a sanctifier as in even as God is sanctifying you, you start reaching out to others and start helping them to be set apart to God. You help them to start growing in those things. So this is a great influence that we can have over other people's lives. And Hebrews 13, 17, if we could read out. Hebrews 13, 17. Hebrews chapter 13 verse 17, obey your leaders and submit to your authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden for that would be no advantage to you. So here are these leaders. This of course is applying more to people who have been officially appointed by the leadership as having to take care of maybe different portions of the congregation. Again, they may be full time or they may just be doing it as volunteers in their free time, but they have been kind of given the responsibility of being there for a set of believers. So they have to kind of take care of the spiritual growth of those believers and all of that. And it says over here, they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. So one day when they stand before the judgment seat of God, it's gonna say these people were placed under your care. How did you shepherd them? How were you there for them? How did you guide them? How did you cause them to know me better? Were you there for them when they were going through the normal hardships of life? Did you reach out a helping hand? Did you say a prayer for them at that time? Were you physically present and helping them out in different things? All of these very scary questions that are going to be asked of us on Judgment Day. So if you are responsible at all for anyone in your church, if the leadership has placed you in a position of responsibility, it's not something that you can take lightly. It's not enough if you can prepare on Bible lesson and go and teach it to them. That's very nice. That's an excellent thing, but it goes beyond that you are in a way responsible for them because you are a priest. Okay, so all of us are priests. And once we have been given some kind of a position of authority where we are now responsible for certain people, we are kind of responsible for all aspects of their life. We can't just say, I'm giving them a Bible lesson that's more than enough. No, that's just one small component. We are expected to reach out and help. We are expected to keep them in prayer. Kind of, to an extent, are responsible for them. And we will have to give an account of it one day. Okay, so all this is part of being priest. All this is part of being set apart and, you know, kadoshan to the Lord. Okay, let's look at another aspect of this whole concept of us having to live in holiness. Romans chapter one verse seven. If someone could read out, Romans one verse seven. Romans chapter one verse seven, to all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints, grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. So these people and the believers, it says who are loved by God and called to be his saints. Okay, that word saints is kind of, kind of has lost its original, you know, meaning. So actually literally it's that word hagios, okay, that Greek word. So all it's saying is they have been called to be holy people one seven. All of us have a calling. We all have ministerial callings, you know, in the sense we are supposed to minister to one another. We have a calling to fulfill the purposes for which God, you know, has created us. We have all of those callings. But there's one really important calling. We are called to be holy people. There is no option. I mean, we cannot say, oh, I, if I want to, I will be holy. No, we all have this calling which we have, which is to be holy people, to be saints. And, you know, like we saw in the very initial lesson that just basically means even as we cooperate with the Lord and even as we respond to him, you know, each time he gives us a revelation of his holiness, each time he explains new things to us about his holiness, we choose to respond positively and say, yes, Lord, I want to learn this and I want to apply it and practice it. So even as we are doing that, his nature gets reproduced in us and then people are able to start seeing it because his nature is revealed through us, his holiness is revealed through us. So this is a responsibility that we all have. And this is something very important in God's eyes. If we can look at Deuteronomy chapter seven verse six, if someone could read out, Deuteronomy chapter seven verse six. Deuteronomy chapter seven verse six, for you are a people holy to the Lord your God, the Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession. Okay, so here the Israelites have been, are being called treasured possession. God considered them his treasure. Treasure is something valuable. It's something that you don't want stolen from you. It's something that you keep very carefully and you watch over it because you value it, you actually treasure it. It's something precious to you. And of course in first Peter 2 9, we saw the same terminology being used for even God's believers today, where we are called a holy nation and we are called God's special possession. So God treasures us. If we are living in an honorable way and we are allowing ourselves to be made holy by him on a daily basis, then we are really like a treasure. On the other hand, imagine if he considers us his treasure and we are living in a very rotten way, what kind of a treasure would that be? It would be such a value less, such a low grade thing. And so what God considers his treasure, we would in fact be desecrating. So it becomes very, very important that not only should we positionally be holy because he has made us righteous and he has declared us holy, but at a practical level in daily practice, we are supposed to continue walking into greater holiness so that we will continue to remain a treasure. If we live however we want, then we are in fact desecrating what he considers as something valuable by lowering it. And that is something that God, he says, you're profaning me. So because of the seriousness of that, we already have a positional holiness, but on a daily basis, we also begin to develop holiness in different aspects of our lives. So for us to do that, we have to first of all understand what has been done for us positionally and believe that it is the truth. Once we start believing that this is my position in Christ, then we will be able to start living it out in our everyday practice. If we have not got that concept into our minds at the basic understanding of what we are, we'll continue to behave like sinners. So for us, the first step is to accept, believe, understand what we are, what God has made us into position-wise. Once we have a clear understanding of that, and we in humble faith choose to believe what he is saying about us regarding our position, then on a day-to-day basis, we will start acting it out because now we really believe that about ourselves. So let's first look at that about how the power of sin has been broken. We are no longer under the power of sin. We need to understand that because once we catch that, once we understand who we are, then we will start living it out, okay? So Romans chapter six verse six, of course, we will not go through the entire chapter of Romans in the entire Romans six because that would take time, but we are looking at specific verses from Romans chapter six. This is all very, very important because we've talked about the importance of holiness. We've talked about how God sees it as a very serious thing. We've talked about all of that, but at the end of the day, if we are not becoming holy, then where's the point in having gone through all of that lecture? So Roman six six is now telling us, inviting us to actually start being holy, to catch these things, to understand these concepts. So this is all very serious stuff. So let's look at Romans chapter six verse six if someone could read out for us. Romans chapter six verse six, for we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. Now, if we do not catch this, if we do not believe it, then the whole sanctification process becomes difficult because here God is making a statement. Now, we either believe that what he's saying is true or we call him a liar. See, it literally comes down to that because here in Romans six is very, very plainly, he says our old self was crucified with him. That old person that we were who loved to sin, who had no control where we had to sin, even though we wanted to be holy, we're unable to be holy. We're kind of enslaved by sin. We have no control over ourselves. The sin who is our master is controlling us and making us do sin even when we don't want to. We were in that kind of a pathetic desperate state but at that point of salvation, where we said, Lord, I believe that you are going to impart your righteousness to me. I can never do this on my own but you are going to make me holy and you're going to make me blameless one day and present me before the Father. You're going to be doing all this. I believe this in simple faith and I choose to submit to you and I choose to walk with you. That moment when you made that decision and at that moment when the Holy Spirit came inside and created something brand new, a new creation was created inside this physical body. The physical body continued to be what it was. The thoughts of your mind, the feelings, emotions that continued to be the same but the dead spirit inside that was taken out and a brand new person was placed inside. We got to understand this, believe it as the truth and accept it and once we do that, then we start saying, oh, now because I am a new creation, I don't need to be living the way I used to live before because that person died, that person was crucified, that person, God, Jesus got rid of. In the place of that person, God has placed a new creation and so now because I am a new creation, I can start training my old thoughts, my old feelings and bringing them in line with the person that I have been made into now. So we first of all recognize what has been done to us, what has been done for us and after recognizing that, we start living it out. So when my mind again says, oh, let's go back into those sins, let's do that once again, we explain to our mind and say, you know what, that person that was living earlier was crucified, that person died. Now there is a new creation and now you mind are the mind of a new creation. So come in line, come in line with what I am telling you and what I'm teaching you, I am a new person now, I am no longer that person. So mind, what you are asking for and thinking about are old things, that person is gone. So you have to now come in alignment with who I am today, I am now a new creation. So you tell your mind and you teach your mind who you are now because that thing still has got outdated information, it still doesn't know the facts. So you have to teach it, train it and then your mind slowly begins to understand and say, oh, now I'm a holy person, is it? Oh, so now I need to start living in a different way, is it? It's not gonna catch it at first, because you are a new creation, you're gonna teach it and train it and point out Bible verses to try and say, see, this is how you are supposed to be now because I am a new creation. So you being a new creation, you take your stand and you teach your mind how it is supposed to be now. But you yourself, if you're thinking, oh, am I really a new creation? Did I really get crucified on the cross? So this is something very fundamental. Your first step is to, in your mind, accept the fact that now you have been made into a new creation, the person that you were earlier, that helpless person who could not control themselves and keep themselves from sin, that person got kicked out, that person died, got buried somewhere. That person is gone, finished. You are a new creation created literally by the Holy Spirit, you've been birthed by the Holy Spirit, which is why we call ourselves born again. You literally are a new person now. It's just that your brain has not been given that information, okay? Brain, of course, is the physical component. Your mind, your mind has not yet been taught that. Now you, it's your responsibility to start teaching your mind these new things and then your mind, when it starts catching it, it'll get excited and say, oh, wow, I can have a new way of life now, okay? So your mind is gonna be a little slow in the beginning. You've got to renew it constantly day after day by teaching it these facts, which is why in Romans 6, 11 to 14, it says these things, you know? So these are the things that we would start practicing. So if someone could read out Romans chapter six versus 11 to 14. Six is 11 to 14. In the same way, count yourself dead to sin, the love to God and Jesus. Therefore, do not sin, drink in your mortal body so that you obey, if he will desire. Offer the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourself to God as those who have been brought from death to life and offer the parts of the human as instruments, righteousness, for sin shall not be a master because under law, but under grace. Okay, so there is still something called sin. It's there out in the world and it's also there in our physical body. I'm not exactly sure how that works out. I mean, God has not given us all of the details, but sin is still around, okay? Sin did not die, sin is very much around. And so it continues to tempt us. It continues to say, okay, you are a new creation, but you can always try to do the old things. So sin is around, sin is not dead, but you, the old person, the kind of person that you were, that helpless person, that's gone, dead, gone, buried. Now you are a new creation that the Holy Spirit literally created. And so you are no longer under the control of sin. And so it says over here in Romans chapter six, verse 11, count yourself dead to sin, accept the fact. Now you either believe this as the truth because God is speaking it, a holy God who can never lie. He is saying this very plainly that old person has been crucified. I did the crucifying. I crucified that old you and I have created a brand new person. So count this as the fact, accept this as a fact is what it says over here in Romans 6, 11, count yourselves dead to sin and alive to God. So sin is going to come along and say, why don't you give your hands to sinful deeds? Why don't you give your mind to sinful deeds? So sin is going to come along and say, like the way earlier you used to give out your various various body parts to, it's to sin. Why don't you continue doing that? So sin will come to you and say, give your eyes to the wrong things, to watch the wrong things. But then you have to now say, no, I am now a new creation. And so now I choose to use my eyes for godly things. So you make a personal choice and because now you believe and you realize who you are, you realize that you're this brand new person, you start offering every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. So that's what it says. So in Romans chapter six verse 11, it says, now start counting yourself as dead to sin, accept the fact that you are a new creation. And because you're accepting yourself now as a new creation, verse 12, it says, therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. It says in verse 13, do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather now because you have finally understood that you're a new creation, what do you do? You start saying, I'm going to offer my eyes as instruments of righteousness. I'm going to offer my ears rather than listening to the wrong kinds of music. You know, I'm going to offer my ears for godly music. So you know, you make these choices and you start offering every part of you as instruments of righteousness. And you're doing this now because you have understood that you're no longer that helpless person, you know, who was giving in to sin, that person got crucified and died and got kicked out. You are now a brand new creation, literally created by the Holy Spirit Himself. So you have the authority to give your eyes for godly things. You really have the spiritual authority, you know, to use your tongue for godly speech. So you no longer need to be the person that you were before because that person died and that person doesn't even exist anymore. And so you ask, you wait on God and say, Lord, let this truth become more and more real to me. And the more and more real this truth becomes to you, it becomes easier for you to recognize that you now have the authority and the freedom to offer yourself for godly things. So you start saying, sure, because I am now who I am, I have the freedom now to offer myself for godly things and God will back you up in doing that because he's gonna see that you really believe what he is saying about you and you're actually cooperating with him and doing, applying these things, practicing it in your life. And God will say, wow, this person believes me, this person trusts me, even though the unrenewed mind is still sending off all the wrong signals, even though sin is coming and tempting, this person is choosing to believe what I am saying about them that they are a new creation and God will honor you for your faith, for your trust, for your belief, and he will help you, he will give you the authority you need to offer your eyes to the right things, to offer your tongue for the correct things, to offer your mind, your thoughts for the correct things. He will really back you up and help you in doing that. And even as you start doing it more and more, you kind of get a hang of how to do it. It's a learning thing. The same way that little baby starts learning to walk and it's a slow process in the sense, day by day, he learns how to balance himself and how to place his feet. So at a spiritual level, we who are the new creation, on day one, we may not really know how to give our eyes for righteousness, and slowly we begin to learn this new way of living, this new way of walking, this new way of thinking. It happens on a daily basis, even as we are renewing our mind and teaching it the things of God and discovering the things of God and all, even as you're going through this process, God is there by your side every moment, empowering you, helping you, equipping you. So it's an exciting journey of discovery. You're discovering how to be holy and God is there backing you up with all of his power every step of the way. So the simple thing will be, don't allow your eyes to go to the darkness because, and start thinking about those things, rather stay focused on him, stay focused on his word, stay focused on other godly people who can be an encouragement to you. If you're with the wrong company, there was the wrong people, you'll get pulled back. Even though you're a new creation, which is so foolish, a new creation going and doing all things so unnecessary. So avoid the old company, the old people who used to pull you into wrong things. So you give up those things. You give up the old habits, which used to always drag you down into sin. So you give up those old habits. So you start getting rid of all the old baggages, which can pull you back and you start accepting this new things where you can flourish as a new creation. Because in that old set of friends, this new creation is gonna have a real struggle. I mean, how are you going to live out your new life among them? Because they're gonna be constantly asking you to be doing the other, the wrong stuff. So the stuff that you've been watching, the stuff you've been listening to, if you're still holding onto those old things, this new creation struggles to function in that atmosphere because the entire pull and the message and the thing of that old stuff is do the wrongs. So if you can just get rid of those things and push them aside and start accepting new friends and the new kind of literature which you read, the new kind of stuff that you listen to, the new kind of hobbies that you take up, all these new things, it becomes easier for your new creation to just breathe and be itself. So don't allow yourself to continue being in that old atmosphere. Come out of it because then you can just relax and just be on yourself. It makes it easier for you. So don't make it hard on yourself by holding onto old things. So these are all things that we choose to do. And so maybe we can also read Romans 619. Before we move on to the next thing, if someone could read out Romans 619, please. Romans chapter 6 verse 19. I put this in human terms because you're weak in your natural selves. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever increasing wickedness. So now offer them in slavery to righteousness, leading to holiness. Okay, so a person, a human being never stops being a slave. Earlier you were a slave to wickedness and you had no control. Even though you were ashamed of what you were, you had no control. But now you are a slave under God and God wants only the very best for you. So you are still a slave, but you are a slave to righteousness. You are his property. You have been purchased by him and he's backing you up and he wants to help you. So if you start offering yourself to him, then you will be able to live a holy life. So which is why once you have, it's like, let's just think of it as no two houses. So you were living in that other house where your sin was your master and you had this entire lifestyle over there. Now you're coming to a new house and here God is the master and now you are his slave and he loves you, he's backing you up and he wants you to have a grand abundant life and all of that. Now usually if you bring all the old baggage from that other house over here to this new house, kind of makes it tough, right? Because you're still surrounded by all the old fittings. And so then your mind would again go back to its old style of living every day. So which is why they say, it's a complete overhaul. Not only do you just simply start bringing in some new practices of reading the Bible and praying and mixing with the believers, you start getting rid of the entire baggage, all that is there in that old house, let it sit there in the old house. Now you're in a new house. So start developing new habits, have new friends, watch a new set of things. God will help you, God will lead you to find things which you can now enjoy as a new creation. So this is all just a walk with him. He will guide you, he will teach you, he will help you. You can maybe take the help of people who have been longer in the Lord and then they can give you advice on what you can do. So it's all just a journey of discovery because now you are in a new house. In this new house, the master is God and God has got only good things for you. So just in the last few minutes that we have, this is the last portion of your chapter three. So where it talks about sanctification in different areas of your life. So like we already looked at, there's a positional sanctification at the moment of salvation. God clothed you in Christ's righteousness and declared you as completely righteous. So yes, positionally you are righteous, but there is a practical progressive daily sanctification that continues on a daily basis. And so positionally, 1 Corinthians chapter six verse 11 is what happened to you. So if someone can read out 1 Corinthians chapter six verse 11, please. Verse Corinthians chapter six verse 11. And that is what some of you were, but you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the spirit of our God. So at that moment of salvation, the Holy Spirit, when he was creating this new creation, at that time he completely washed you, he sanctified you, set you apart for himself, he declared you as justified and righteous. So positionally you already arrived, which is why in the next moment, in case, I mean, you're not gonna die, but in the next moment you were to drop down dead, you would immediately enter into heaven because positionally you're already completely righteous and accepted by God. But on a day-to-day basis, because you have been given this privilege of being his child, you choose on a daily basis to start acting like a new creation. And so it says in Hebrews 10, 14, a very important verse, where it brings out the two aspects, the positional sanctification and the progressive everyday sanctification that needs to be done. So because in Hebrews 10, 14, it says, for by one sacrifice, he has made perfect forever. Okay, so you have already been made perfect forever, those who are being made holy. So you have been made perfect forever, but when it comes to day-to-day thing, you start being made holy in every aspect in your thinking, in your speech, in your actions, in your choices, in all of that, you make a choice. And so in our notes, it just talks about different areas where you can start training yourself to be holy. So it talks about sanctification of mind and body and one good scripture for that would be Philippines 4-8, where it says earlier you used to think about all kinds of worldly things, but now think about things which are right, which are pure, which are lovely, think about such things. So when you start thinking more about good things, then it'll be easier for you to live a holy life. On the other hand, if you're still thinking all those old selfish, self-centered, sinful things, how it makes it more difficult for you to be a new creation. So rather develop on things which are noble, which are right is what it says in Philippines 4-8. It also in Ephesians 5-4, not sure whether all these scriptures are there in your notes, but anyway, these are just things which I jotted down. So I think some of them may be there, some of them may not be there in your notes, but no, these are all very practical, useful verses. So Ephesians 5-4, it says, there should be no obscenity, foolish talk, or course joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. So the way you speak, so change your speaking style. Let there be no more foolish or course speech, but rather let there be speech which honors God. So those are all sanctification in your mind and body, sanctification in your desires and your affections. So and over here, I think the scripture verse that was given in the notes is 1 Thessalonians 4-3-8, where it says, each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable. And then in 1 Thessalonians 4-7, it says, for God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God. So if you are refusing to control your body and keep it holy, you're not just simply breaking a rule, you're literally rejecting God himself, something very, very serious. So you need to be sanctified in your desires, in your affections and your passions. It also talks about in your notes, the next point would be sanctification of your dreams and hopes. Okay, so we have only one minute left, but if I can just squeeze something useful into that one minute, Matthew 633, which says, seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well. So over here, it's not saying, you go just sit on the mountains and you meditate upon God's kingdom and his righteousness. No, in all the practical everyday things that you do in your office, in your workplace, place the kingdom matters first, place righteousness and godliness first, in your hobby, whatever hobby you're practicing. Let it be something which is righteous. Let righteousness be your priority when you're exercising your hobby. Everyday normal relationships, let your relationships be righteousness focused, let them be kingdom focused. So that's basically what it means Matthew 633, seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, in all the practical aspects of your life and then God will take care of your needs, he will provide for all your needs that will be taken care of by him automatically. So in that way talks about sanctification of time and talents, sanctification of your home and family, all of those. So maybe you could kind of go through those points later when you have the time. So we'll quickly close with a word of prayer. Yeah, because we are out of time. Lord, we just thank you so much for the things that we could learn from your word today. We have a clearer understanding of what it means to be set apart. You take it very seriously and you have declared us, each of us as set apart. And so we should not be desecrating ourselves because when we do that, we are not just desecrating ourselves, we're literally desecrating you. We are violating your holiness, we are violating your name. And so you take that very seriously. So I pray, oh Lord, that you would help us to recognize that you have set us free from those things. We are no longer that old helpless person, that person was killed by you. Now we are a brand new creation with the full freedom and authority to offer our bodies for righteous things. So help us to live in that way, oh Lord, recognizing this truth which you have done for us. I pray that you would guide each of us, oh Lord, into greater holiness on a daily basis. Show us how to do it, oh Lord. Be very clear to us, oh Lord, in your guidance. Help us to hear from you, oh Lord. And I pray that by the end of this course, we really would have changed into greater holiness. Baby, we will be more pleasing in your eyes. You make that happen for us because it's only gonna happen by your strength and power and you promise that you are the makadesh. You will make us holy. You will kadoshas. Thank you for that promise, Lord. In Jesus' name, amen. Thank you so much for holding on to the end. Yes, so we'll meet again next week. Thank you.
