Herald of July 8, 1959 HOLINESS * f . i P I. (Commitment and C^fcansing General Superintendent Powers Commitment or consecration i.s not cleansing. Quoting Ur. James B. Chapman: “Holiness is not an accomplishment, but a gift received. It is not attained, hut is obtained from the Lord. It is not to be approximated by en­ deavor, but is to be accomplished by the divine enablement. It is wrought as an instantaneous crisis, and not possessed by means of a gradual approach.” But to obtain such an experience, commitment or consecration is indis­ pensable. It is our responsibility to make a complete commitment of our all to God—“Friends and time and earthly store, soul and body.” But this is only the human preparation. When this is thoroughly done it places us on “believing ground.” Then by faith in Christ’s atonement and promises the soul is cleansed from all unrighteousness. To speak of commitment as though it alone is what we mean by entire sanctification is misleading. Man commits, but God alone cleanses. To fail to make this point clear leaves us feeling the necessity of “reconsecrating” ourselves to God from time to time. This is illogical and unscriptural. If we have com­ pletely committed ourselves to God for time and eternity, it is unthinkable that He would refuse to cleanse and keep that which completely belongs to Him, for in so doing He would compromise His own character. How can a normal man who hates rattlesnakes knowingly allow one to remain in his house which completely belongs to him? How can a holy God allow sin to remain in a heart and life completely consecrated to Him? No, He will keep (by cleansing) that which we have committed (if we keep it com­ mitted) unto Him against that day. Let us not stop short of a definite work of heart cleansing since it is provided in God’s covenant promise. "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel: for he hath visited and redeemed his people, and hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: that we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all that hate us; to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; the oath which he sware to our father Abraham, that he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life” (Luke 1:68-75).
