Section 8

adjusting us outwardly nor by making us conform to certain external regulations. On the contrary, He is sanctifying us by being the holy essence within us. Christ today is the Spirit of holiness, the very divine essence of holiness working organ ically within our being. He sanctifies us by satu rating us with this holy essence. This involves a process of spiritual metabolism. Through sanc tifying us in this way, He is bringing us, the many sons, into glory.

The Sanctifier Himself is the sanctifying ele ment that is working within us. Although we may not be conscious of Christ's working within us, He is nonetheless working to saturate our being with the sanctifying essence. Layer by layer and part by part, He is permeating us with Himself.

GOD'S HOLY ESSENCE

The longer we stay in the church life, the more permeation and saturation we receive. Once this holy essence has saturated you, it is impossible to eradicate it, for it has permeated your being or ganically and metabolically. Not even your back sliding can eradicate the holy essence that has permeated you; it is indelible. If you become a backslider after having been saturated with the essence of holiness in the church life, then you will

be a backslider who has been somewhat satu rated with the holy element of God. You simply cannot undo what God has done within you. By being in the church life for a period of time, you have been in a "clinic" where you have received an "injection." After receiving the "injection," you may regret that the element of holiness has been injected into you. But it is too late for regrets. No matter what you do, the element of God's holy essence that has been injected into you will stay with you. No matter where you may go, this es sence, this sanctifying element, will remain in you. Praise the Lord for working within us in such an organic way! Praise Him for the process of sanc tification which conforms us for glorification!
