If you are a child of God then He has you under construction. This formation of Christlikeness in you is a process called sanctification. God uses the difficulties of this life as one of His primary mechanisms for shaping and molding us. We cooperate with God in His work when we’re honest about those moments of difficulty and thereby embrace God’s purposes as we learn to ground ourselves upon His Word.
In a turbulent and ever changing world, it is obedience to God’s Word that provides the stability and strength to help us find a sure footing and guide us in our formation towards Christlikeness and holiness.
