Advent Names of God Part 3
Jehovah M’Kaddesh- The Lord who Sanctifies (Saves) set apart Exodus 31:13
Sanctifies: to set apart for its proper use as intended by the designer
God is the one who cleanses, sets apart, and makes people holy and consecrated for His purposes. This is a process that involves a lifelong change through the work of the Holy Spirit, purifying individuals from sin and making them more like Christ. BUT, we have to replace one thing for another (alcohol, cursing, etc). Our job is to cooperate with the Holy Spirit and obey and trust Him.
