Deeper Life #138

Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

—Luke 14:34–35

WHEN GOD HAS YOU COMPLETELY, you will never ask anyone if you are sanctified. You will not need to guess whether you are sanctified. It is grander inside than outside.

External sins never bothered me; I was brought up too carefully to be externally sinful. But when God the Holy Spirit convicted me of my disposition of sin, of my pride, and of my self-rule, I experienced such howling wastes of agony on account of the years God was not fully in control!

Fellowship with God grows grander, brighter all the way. No matter what your case is or what your circumstances are, if you go through on God’s line, He will save and entirely sanctify you.

Prayer Thought: Increase my faith, O God, that I may fully accept Your will for my life.
