SANCTIFY YOU COMPLETELY

1 Thessalonians 5:23  ISV  May the God of peace himself make you holy in every way. And may your whole being—spirit, soul, and body—remain blameless when our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, appears.

Galatians 6:4 New International Version   “Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else,

For the next few days I will write about your whole being and call our attention to the function and failures of each part of our being as outlined by Paul.
