A Vessel of Honor


Vessels unto honor

Holiness and Sanctification BOTH OF THESE ARE FROM THE SAME ROOT WORD/ HAGIOS



THEY ARE USED BOTH AS A NOUN AND VERB AND ADVERB



Have you ever heard someone say; “Well you know the Word says 2tim.2 20; In a large house there are not only things made of gold and silver, but also things made of wood and clay. Some things are used for special purposes, and others are made for ordinary jobs.”

So I guess I am just an old vessel for dishonor.



That is entirely up to you; His word also says

2 Timothy 2:21

Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.



2Cor.7:1; "Therefore, having these promises, beloved let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God."



1Thess.4:3; "For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you should abstain from sexual immorality."



Century version says it this way.

2Tim2:.21 All who make themselves clean from evil will be used for special purposes. They will be made holy, useful to the Master, ready to do any good work.

So let us make the decision today to be a vessel of gold, for honor, it’s up to us.
