Ephesians 1:5 “Having predestinated us unto sonship through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will.”
To be holy is to be mingled with God. God sanctifies us by putting Himself into us and then mingling us with His nature. This is a matter of nature, of having our nature transformed with His. We were born human, natural, but God wants us to be divine. The only way this can take place is through having the divine nature put into our being and mingled with it. In this way, God makes us holy. Thus, sanctification is a procedure to transform our nature. This, however, is not the goal. The goal is related to being formed or shaped. This is the reason that along with God’s choosing us to be holy, there is the need of His predestinating us to be sons. To be holy is a matter of nature, but to be sons is a matter of being formed.
Praise the Lord! ^u^
Keep on Steemin'!

“To be holy is a matter of nature, but to be sons is a matter of being formed.”
This is true. He called us to be holy
