Many times, we wonder, “What is God’s will for me? ” Here, God tells us. It is his will that we be sanctified, meaning “made holy” or “set apart” from the filth and corruption that is in the world through lust. (2 Peter 1:4) And one major area of sanctification Paul mentions, fornication, because it is so prevalent and so degrading.
And we pray:
Lord God, we do not always know what Your will is as to each path or decision of life. But we always know that Your will is for us to be holy even as You are holy. Sanctify us through Your Word, which is truth. (John 17:17) Keep us unspotted from the world in regard to sexual sin and all other sins. Amen.
