Faith without religion.
Sanctification: A Journey Through Exodus 29
In a recent teaching, Shawn McCraney explored the themes of sanctification and justification as depicted in Exodus 29:42-46, a passage that reveals God’s promise to meet the Israelites at the tabernacle and sanctify it with His glory. This act of sanctification, extended to Aaron and his sons, underscores that it is God who sanctifies His people. Shawn draws a parallel between the sanctification of the tabernacle and believers through Christ, emphasizing that God’s indwelling is a gift of grace, not contingent on human actions. He traces God’s “houses” throughout history, from Eden to the tabernacle, culminating in Christ as the “Perfect House,” highlighting God’s plan to dwell with humanity. Shawn challenges the notion that sanctification is achieved through religious efforts, advocating instead for abiding in Christ and trusting in divine grace. This teaching invites believers to view sanctification as a divine process, encouraging them to live out their faith through the transformative power of God’s grace.
