HMMM not sure our striving can accomplish that either:
1 Cor 6:11
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified , but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
KJV
1 Cor 1:2
2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
KJV
Heb 2:11
11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
KJV
Heb 10:10
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
KJV
Notice past tense? How can this be?
Heb 10:10
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
KJV
"we are sanctified" not to get sanctified
1 Cor 1:30-2:1
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption :
31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
KJV
Sanctification is ours because we are in Christ. This why we should only glory in the Lord for he is those things to us.
