The same reasoning holds good in entire sanctification. The conditions
are consecration and faith. You are to put all on the altar, and ask and
trust God to do the cleansing and give you the filling of the Spirit.
Have you thus consecrated? Have you given all? If you say yes, then do
you believe that God sanctifies you wholly? If you do, you have faith,
and you are sanctified wholly, because God can not lie nor fail.
Faith in God, then, is believing God's Word, the Bible. Whenever you
obey the Bible and meet the conditions laid down therein for any blessing
promised, you may then believe that God does or is doing for you whatever
He has there promised. And when you believe, you will have all joy and
peace in believing, you will enjoy the riches of God's grace, and He
will work in you mightily, as He does in all those who believe (Ephesians
1:19).
CHAPTER SIX
THE BEST INHERITANCE IN CANAAN
I am troubled about my sanctification. My conversion was so bright and
there was such a change that I never could doubt it. But when I was
sanctified, there was not so great a change. And it was not so great as
that of some I have heard testify. Neither do I feel as bold as some I
have heard speak, neither did I taste such a death as others have testified
too.
