Shalom, 

I really like this from My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers:

But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us . . . sanctification . . . 1 Corinthians 1:30

The mystery of sanctification is that the perfect qualities of Jesus Christ are imparted as a gift to me, not gradually, but instantly ... (at the New Birth!)
The most wonderful secret of living a holy life does not lie in imitating Jesus, but in letting the perfect qualities of Jesus exhibit themselves in my human flesh. Sanctification is “Christ in you . . .” (Colossians 1:27). It is His wonderful life that is imparted to me in sanctification— imparted by faith as a sovereign gift of God’s grace. Am I willing for God to make sanctification as real in me as it is in His Word?

That is the real question! Am I willing? The answer, for me, is YES! Are YOU? Here, to encourage you in YOUR decision, is Hillsong Live with "Christ Is Enough":

Shalom in Him!
