Sanctification by Faith

In sanctification by faith, a new question begins to develop as we face the rebellion of our hearts. The question is, "Am I going to let someone love me? Am I going to let them meet a need that I cannot meet on my own?" Further, the person who asks this question goes deeper and says, "I need you to help me with this rebellion, but even more, my heart desires you in the middle of the process, not just you meeting my need." It is a very vulnerable and intimate experience.

This question regards both God and those trusted others we allow into the deepest parts of our lives. Choosing safe people we can trust becomes paramount, second only to our trust in God.
