My spirit, soul, and body,
Dear Lord, I give to Thee,
A consecrated offering,
Thine evermore to be.

Oh, may my faith ne'er falter!
Lord, keep me Thine alone.

Now, Lord, I yield my members,
From sin's dominion free,
For warfare and for triumph,
As weapons unto Thee.

g. The Cause of Our Complete Sanctification
in Our Spirit, Soul, and Body
The coming of Christ is the cause of the complete sanctification in our spirit, soul, and body. First Thessalonians 5:23 says, “The God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ” Man is of three parts: spirit, soul, and body. The spirit as our inmost part is the inner organ, possessing God-consciousness, that we may contact God (John 4:24; Rom. 1:9). The soul is our self (cf. Matt. 16:26; Luke 9:25), a medium between our spirit and our body, possessing self-consciousness, that we may have our personality. The body as our external part is the outer organ, possessing world-consciousness, that we may contact the material world. The body contains the soul, and the soul is the vessel that contains the spirit. In the spirit, God as the Spirit dwells; in the soul, our self dwells; and in the body, the physical senses dwell. God sanctifies us, first, by taking possession of our spirit through regeneration (John 3:5-6); second, by spreading Himself as the life-giving Spirit from our spirit into our soul to saturate and transform our soul (Rom. 12:2; 2 Cor. 3:18); and last, by enlivening our mortal body through our soul (Rom. 8:11 , 13) and transfiguring our body by His life power (Phil. 3:21).
Although God preserves us, we need to take the responsibility, the initiative, to cooperate with His operation, to be preserved by keeping our spirit, soul, and body in the saturating of the Holy Spirit (1 Thes. 5:12-24). In the second part of verse 23 Paul says, “May your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame. ” In the first part of the verse concerning God’s sanctifying us, it is God who takes the initiative. But in the second part of the verse concerning our spirit, soul, and body being preserved, we are the ones who should take the initiative. The command be preserved may be regarded as an active-passive verb. This means that we take the initiative to be preserved, although God is the One who preserves our spirit, soul, and body. Therefore, we should pray, “Lord, I long to have my spirit, soul, and body preserved. However, I cannot do this work. I take the initiative, Lord, to ask You to do this. ”
The Conclusion of the New Testament:
Experiencing, Enjoying, and Expressing Christ:
Message 361 (LSM)
Mansfield, Ohio, United States
Many consecrate themselves to Christ, but not that many stay on the alter. We must continuously pray and consecrate our whole being to stay on the alter. When Christ faced the ultimate experience of the alter, his death on the cross, He looked ahead to the joy set before Him. We also can look ahead to our full salvation that will glorify God. When we stand consecrated to Christ and His church ( Phil 2:13) He puts the willingness and doing in us to stay on the alter. This is partaking (experiencing) of His sufferings. It is the narrow way.
