What does the Bible say about sanctifying the Lord in our hearts?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible instructs us to sanctify the Lord God in our hearts, meaning we should set Him apart and acknowledge His holiness in our lives.
Sanctifying the Lord in our hearts is a call to recognize His infinite holiness and declare Him as such. As stated in 1 Peter 3:15, we are to set apart God in our hearts, which indicates both a personal and a public acknowledgment of His glory. This involves not only worshiping Him outwardly through obedience and gathering with other believers but also internally by genuinely loving and praising Him. If our hearts are not aligned with our outward actions, we risk hypocrisy, losing authentic worship and reverence for His majesty.
