“But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you. I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you, to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.
And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren.
By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.”
{Acts 26:16-18; John 17:19, 17; Hebrews 2:11; Hebrews 10:10; Acts 20:32}
