How do we improve as people? How do we become the people that God intended us to be? In the world of theology, the term for this process is sanctification.  Unfortunately, there is no place for stable stagnation; we are either growing or dying.  The path of faith is a lifelong journey. This process of growth and sanctification requires persistence and grit. The goal is to become the people that God intended. The path is narrow and uncrowded. Philippians 1:6 (TPT), “I pray with great faith for you, because I’m fully convinced that the One who began this gracious work in you will faithfully continue the process of maturing you until the unveiling of our Lord Jesus Christ!”

The enemy loves to attack our thoughts and senses. Our salvation and sanctification are a helmet that will protect our minds and thoughts from the enemy’s attacks. Ephesians 6:17 (TPT), “Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies.”
