I have a question about sanctification.
Isaiah's awareness of his own sin and the impossibility of standing in the presence of the holy God, meant he thought he would die.
So God touched his lips with a burning coal.
Nothing here to do with the sacrificial system.
Was this act of God to do with Isaiah's justification or sanctification?
Because it raises the question of how even a legally-justified believer who escapes the judgement and condemnation of God can still stand comfortably in God's glorious presence unless he is absolutely sanctified.
What provision has God made for our complete sanctification, granted that no-one will achieve perfection in this life?
All to do with 'being changed in the twinkling of an eye'? Will our sins be burned up in God's presence? Is this a prospect that can attract even the justified sinner?
