Quantitatively, God sanctifies us wholly;
Qualitatively, God preserves us complete, that is, He keeps our spirit, soul, and body perfect
Be preserved - active-passive :)
1. Our default situation - a deadened condition
- We must keep our spirit in a living condition - exercising (rejoicing, praying, and giving thanks)
- "exercising" means to put in some effort (on the one hand, God is doing it; on the other hand, we need to cooperate by putting in some effort).
- Why our spirit sometimes feel heavy? We can see something, listen to something, etc. to deaden to our spirit
- Being passive - just to do nothing
- We need to be saved from this passivity
- Sometimes, we might be "saying too much" yet without any reality and content. The Lord
