Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
SANCTIFY THEM BY THE TRUTH / JOHN 17:17
“Sanctify” means to make holy (morally and spiritually pure, whole, separated from evil and dedicated to God) and to separate or set apart (for God’s purposes). The evening before His death, Jesus prays that His disciples will be holy people. He prays for them to be separated from evil in the world for the purpose of worshiping and serving God and fulfilling His purposes on earth. They must be set apart in order to be in a close relationship with a holy God, to live for Him and to be like Him. The Holy Spirit accomplishes this process of sanctification as Jesus’ followers devote themselves to living by the truth revealed to them by the Spirit (John 14:17; 16:13). The truth is both the living Word of God (Jesus John 1:1) and the written Word of God as revealed in the Bible.
