JEHOVAH-M'KADDESH

Pastor Gavin Taylor

"The Lord Who Sanctifies or Consecrates”. To sanctify or consecrate means to set apart, or separate, or to declare holy. Being consecrated means to be separated for God's purpose. When you become one of God’s children, He separates you from the rest of the world. This separation is for your protection and because He wants to bless you. When He separates you, however, He also expects you to live different then the world He’s separating you from. He separates you unto Himself, separating you from evil and wickedness. You see, He’s Holy and, because He’s holy, He expects you to be holy. That means that we are responsible for sanctifying ourselves.
