He will sanctify thee wholly; Body, spirit, soul shall be Blameless till thy Savior’s coming In His glorious majesty! He hath perfected forever Those whom He hath sanctified; Spotless, glorious, and holy, Is the Church, His chosen Bride.
The transformation of the believers causes the growth of the body. The last couple verses stress that. 1 Thessalonians. Clearly shows the parts of man.
This clearly shows the parts of man and the sequence of sanctification. And it says God is faithful to do it. 😅
23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also do it!
In Christian theology, sanctification is the process by which believers are made holy and conformed to the likeness of Christ. It is a transformative journey.
Tie this to Romans 8:30 and you have the experience of God spreading in us spirit, soul, and body.
28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who<i> have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified”.
When Paul says all things work together for good he is referring to this transformation from glory to glory that God is doing through the Spirit.
I recently discovered this hymn after finding a hymn written by D. S. Warner in the Evening Light hymnal, number 25. Brother Warner actually modified and enhanced Havergal's hymn. I also recommend looking at it at the evening light website
