Take a look at Romans 3:10. 3:20. 3:23<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s clear the air about sanctification:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sanctification is not (holy self-improvement<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sanctification does not mean (becoming sinless<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

Sanctification comes from the word that means (to set apart<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

An important truth to remember is that we have been set apart for God\u2019s (purpose and use<\/strong><\/span>).\u00a0 \u201cWe are God\u2019s workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works.\u201d Eph.2:10<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

II.\u00a0\u00a0 WHAT DOES A RIGHT MIND LOOK LIKE?<\/h4>\n

Romans 8:12-13 provides us with the answer.<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Not (according to the flesh<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But (to the Spirit<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

How do we live this life? Some Scriptural help:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Recognize the (presence of sin<\/strong><\/span>) in our flesh.\u00a0 (Ref. Romans 7:21)<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Have a heart (fixed on God<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Meditate on (God\u2019s Word<\/strong><\/span>).\u00a0 \u201cI have stored up your Word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.\u201d Psalm 119:11<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Communicate regularly with God (in prayer<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Be (obedient<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n
