If your life is not in jeopardy for what you
believe, you’re probably on the wrong side!
“Indeed, all who want
to live a godly life united with the Messiah Yeshua will be persecuted.” (2Tim 3:12)
It is what you actually believe that determines how you walk out your faith,
“but avoid stupid controversies, genealogies,
quarrels and fights about the Torah; because they are worthless and
futile.” (Titus 3:9)

Developing a
Systematic Messianic Theology
“The purpose of careful theological formulations is not to put barriers in the way of people who are seeking salvation, but to define clearly the truths upon which genuine [Biblical] faith rests, so that people will not be misled by false doctrines.” [Bowman]
What Torah Says About
Sanctification
The word “sanctify” means to set apart for a specific purpose. I have a skillet that I have sanctified for the sole function of cooking eggs. Directly associated with salvation, sanctification is a setting apart of redeemed person unto God for His purpose. Sanctification consists of three steps or stages in the Believer’s life: positional sanctification, progressive sanctification, and ultimate sanctification.
Every Believer, by virtue of his or her position “in Messiah” and thus partaking of all that He is, has a complete standing before God. Yet every Believer, because he retains a sin nature which cannot be changed nor eradicated in this life, lives in a present state that is imperfect to the extent that he fails to fully appropriate the power of Ruach HaKodesh by which to live a holy life, and is therefore in need of a progressive sanctification by growing in grace unto spiritual maturity. Every Believer will be fully and completely sanctified when we shall see the LORD and shall be like Him.
