How should we respond to a living God who has done all the work of redemption for us? Since the price for our sin has been paid by Jesus, we worship Him by offering ourselves as living sacrifice available for God’s use.
Out of an overflow of their relationship with Jesus, the Colossian Christians were to grow in Christlikeness as they deeply and practically put off sin and put on godliness.
Jehovah-M’Keddesh (sometimes written as Yahweh-M’Kaddesh) translates to “The Lord Who Sanctifies” or “The Lord Who Makes Holy.” This name reflects God’s role in sanctifying or setting apart His people for holiness and service. It emphasizes God’s active role in purifying and consecrating His followers to live according to His will.
