Special Forces
IllustrationAnalogy★★★★IN OUR war against terrorism, there are Special Forces, the Army Rangers, the Green Berets, the Navy Seals, the Delta Force—these are special people who are cut out from the crowd, who are set apart from the rest of the general armed services. These are no ordinary soldiers; they are cut out from and a cut above the rest. God is calling men to be sanctifiers, men who set themselves apart, and are set apart, for the purpose of the transformation of their mates from where they are into what they ought to be. That’s sanctification, requiring a Savior first.
The point
God calls believers to be sanctified—set apart and refined like military elite, transformed to transform others.
