John
The core of our knowledge of Christianity is limited to answer basic questions about the Bible.
We focus on our desire for spiritual milk and meat and never realize that we need to equally exercise our spiritual faith.
We can answer the question about our faith, but do we really understand how to apply it?
I want neither terrorist spirituality that keeps me in a perpetual state of fright about being in a right relationship with my heavenly Father, nor a sappy spirituality that portrays God as such a benign teddy bear that there is no aberrant behavior or desire of mine that he will not condone.
I want a relationship with the Abba of Jesus, who is infinitely compassionate with my brokenness and at the same time an awesome, incomprehensible, and unwieldy mystery.

For their to be belief there must be truth.

The generic meaning of sanctification is “the state of proper functioning.”
To sanctify someone or something is to set that person or thing apart for the use intended by its designer.

Eyeglasses are “sanctified” when used to improve sight.
In the theological sense, things are sanctified when they are used for the purpose God intends.
A human being is sanctified, therefore, when he or she lives according to God’s design and purpose.
II.
Truth is not limited to context.
Truth of scripture applies to all people at all places at all times.
Right truth is called orthodoxy in the context of Christianity.
John 4:
III.
Truth is never to be denied outright or accepted blindly.
“Trust but verify”
2 Timothy
Caveat
It is not truth or grace, it is truth and grace.
John 1:
Application
Some want to be told what to believe, others want to learn how to decipher truth.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference - Robert Frost
“The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with his lips and walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle.
That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.”
