1 Corinthians 1:30 - "And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption,"

Sanctification does not mean anything less than the holiness of Jesus being made ours manifestly. As born-again Believers, we are the sanctification of Christ.

This is part of our Christ identity that was bought for us in the finished work of the cross. The perfections of Jesus manifest themselves in our mortal flesh as we go throughout the day, abiding in Jesus, soaking in His love and giving it back to Him.

We are presently equipped to bear fruit that remains for His advancing Kingdom, thereby, bringing forth the Great Commission through our Christ calling. . Sanctification is "Christ in you."

Question to ask myself: Am I willing to believe Jesus for the sanctified life in Him, that He is living through me?

Luke 13:16 - "And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?”

The teaching that says that sickness is actually a blessing in disguise, because the Lord is working His plan in one's life is not found in scripture. Nowhere do we find Jesus refusing to heal anyone. His actions are proof enough that it is always God's will to heal! Jesus provided for physical healing as well as forgiveness of sins.

The very word save (Greek "sozo") is translated "made whole" in reference to physical healing. James 5:15 says "the prayer of faith shall save (sozo) the sick".

Many scriptures mention the healing of our bodies in conjunction with the forgiveness of our sins. Healing is part of our salvation, just as much as the forgiveness of our sins. It is God's will that no one should perish, but many do because of their unbelief. Likewise, it is God's will that we all be healed, but not all are healed because of failure to believe.
