We are Sanctified by simply following the Sense of “His life” within. God Sanctifies us first by…

- Taking possession of our spirit through regeneration (Titus 3:5);

-  Then His life and nature flows from our spirit into our soul to saturate and transform it (Rom. 12:2), renewing our mind, from “glory to glory” (2Cor. 3:18).

- His Spirit properly enlivens our mortal body through the leading of our soul/spirit union (Rom 8:13)

- God not only sanctifies us in soul; He will transform our corruptible body by His Spirit at the Rapture.

Philip. 3:21 (The Lord) Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body (Spirit-body), according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

The “Sense” we have is Christ as “the Word of God” (John 1:1) within us is working to divide soul and spirit.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God (Christ) is quick (alive), and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints (soul needed for any movement) and marrow (source of life is the spirit), and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Peace is to be our portion always and under all circumstances.

1 Peter 5:14b Peace be (is) with you all that are in Christ Jesus.” Amen.

2Thes.3:16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be (is) with you

Experiencing failure in our self-effort turns us to find Him as grace, life, and peace, this multiplies our trust for continued peace as we come to KNOW Him in us.

2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge (ginosko, experiential knowing) of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect (complete), stablish, strengthen, settle you.

Unlike “other Gentiles,” we learn to heed our inner Sense of Christ’s Spirit leading us.

Ephes. 4:17-24 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, ¹⁸Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: ¹⁹Who being past feeling (insensitive, ignoring the sense of Holy Spirit convicting them in the conscience of their human spirit) have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

²⁰ But ye have not so learned (understood) Christ; ²¹ If so be that ye have heard him (in your spirit), and have been taught by him (in your spirit), as the truth (reality) is in Jesus: ²²That ye put off concerning the former conversation (manner) of the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; ²³And be renewed in the spirit of your mind (Be renewed by the spirit flowing to and through your submissive soul/mind, to govern your living); ²⁴And that ye put on (Gk. enduo, be clothed by sinking into or yielding to Christ in you, as into a garment) the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Still, some Christian’s say, “But I don’t have peace within - Why?”

It is because His peace requires a Mutual Abiding – He always abides in us, but we also need to abide in accord with Him. Only in that way can we always triumph in matter of life

2Cor. 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in (union with) Christ….
Col. 3:15a And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, …

Hebrews 4:10 For he that is entered into his (God’s) rest, he also hath ceased from his own (self) works,

2 Cor. 1:8-9 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: ⁹But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, (so) that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:

The “fellowship” of His life is the “fellowship of the mystery” of “Christ in you”

1 Cor. 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Ephesians 3:8-9 Unto me (Paul), who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
⁹ And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

A key to our “fellowship of the mystery” is our participation in co-operating with Christ within. The Father in Christ is that eternal life; it’s by our abiding in union with that indwelling life in us that we have “fellowship with the Father & His Son” (1John 1:3)

The reality of Christ and the Father’s love are known to us by the communion (fellowship) we have with them ‘in our Spirit union’ with them

2 Cor. 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion (fellowship) of the Holy Ghost, be (is) with you all. Amen. (“be” is italicized in the KJV since it was added by translators.)

The fellowship of His Life is the flow of … “Christ in you” as “the life.” This can be seen by these 2 examples.

1) The light bulb: The bulb is as a soul. The electricity is as Christ’s Spirit of life flowing, from the power generator (the Father). The electric current must flow continually if there is to be light in the bulb.

- The light bulb (as our soul) has no power to light itself. It must be plugged into the power source to have union with the electricity (Spirit). The bulb must have a continuous flow of electricity.

- If the flow of electricity stops, the light will go out and darkness prevails.

- Our maintaining the “fellowship of Christ’s life by the Spirit is like the flow of the electricity that lights the bulb and powers all kinds of devices that we encounter in our lives.

2) The Blood in my hand: My hand may be likened to my soul, and the blood flowing in it is as Christ’s “Spirit of life” flowing to my soul. Is the blood working just locally in my hand, or the whole body? It is both, the blood must be flowing continually to give life to my hand as a body member, even while it is flowing in my whole body (all members of the body). When life flow of blood stops, death prevails.

“For the word of God is quick (alive), and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of “soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow,” … (Hebrews 4:12)

The Bible clearly tells us “The life is in the blood” (Lev. 17:11) and that life flows from the “marrow” within the bone. The life giving “marrow” is twice hidden within our bodies; 1) The marrow is hidden in the bone, and 2) the bone is hidden within the body. Similarly, Christ in our spirit is our innermost being, is as the “marrow.” His is a life and voice that’s deeper than our soul’s mind, and both are hid within our body.

The “fellowship of life with Christ” that we enjoy is by the constant flow of the ‘One Life’ of the “One Spirit” from within our spirit… to enliven, renew, and live through our soul’s… mind, emotion, and will.

The function of the fellowship of life is to inwardly supply us with the life and power of Christ’s life.

• The ‘supply of life’ is received through the flow of “His Life” that we enjoy in union with Him. Our soul-self must remain subservient to and in accord with the Spirit of Christ as Lord for us to continually enjoy the peaceful bond that always exist with God our Father by the Spirit within us.
• The more we receive and walk in accord with the truth and the flow of His life guiding us, the more awareness we have of our fellowship and union with Him.
• If the fellowship of life is interrupted the enjoyment of the sense and power of His overcoming life is cut off.
• If we depart from the fellowship of life, we sense the loss of well-being that we have of His life.
• The more we live in the fellowship of life the keener is our “sense of His life” and the more of His life we enjoy.
• The presence of the sense of His life or the loss of that sense… proves to us whether we are abiding in union with Christ.
