To worship the people is to be worshipped.
1st Baron Verulam
The faith by which we live shall never vary in any age . . . for one is the faith which sanctifies the Just of all ages.
We let ourselves be molded and transformed by Christ and continually pass from the side of one who destroys to that of the one who saves.
It is the work of God alone to justify, to sanctify, and to glorify.
12 years ago all I wanted to do was sing the right songs and get emotionally wound up, but now I realize my job is to make Christ the center of attention each night.
We can sanctify ourselves in common things. We must do so.
Hallow the body as a temple to comeliness and sanctify the heart as a sacrifice to love; love recompenses the adorers.
The Lord's authorized servants repeatedly teach that one of the principal purposes of our mortal existence is to be spiritually changed and transformed through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
It is by giving our whole hearts to the Master and keeping His commandments that we come to know Him. In time, through the power of the Atonement, our hearts are changed, and we can become like Him.
There is absolutely no power in our human effort to live holy. It is only by His grace. And the result of receiving grace is we get better at living like Christ, which is something we all want, right?
The gospel of the Savior is not simply about avoiding bad in our lives; it also is essentially about doing and becoming good. And the Atonement provides help for us to overcome and avoid bad and to do and become good. Help from the Savior is available for the entire journey of mortality - from bad to good to better and to change our very nature.
We are safe on the rock which is the Savior when we have yielded in faith in Him, have responded to the Holy Spirit's direction to keep the commandments long enough and faithfully enough that the power of the Atonement has changed our hearts.
Absolve me, teach me, purify me, strengthen me: take me to Thyself, that I may be Thine and Thine only.
You sanctify whatever you are grateful for.
It is in some respect greater love in Jesus to sanctify than to justify, for He maketh us most like Himself, in His own essential portraiture and image in sanctifying us.
An acknowledged love sanctifies every little freedom; and little freedoms beget great ones.
