I will be Sanctified, that is I will have my People to demean and carry themselves so as to hold forth their acknowledgement of my Holiness so, as by their carriage I may appear to be a Holy God. I will be Sanctified by them, or otherwise if they shall not in an active way Sanctify my name, that is, if they shall not demean themselves so as to hold forth the glory of my Holiness, then I will be Sanctified upon them; I will demean and carry my self towards them so, as by my actions upon them, I will make it appear what a Holy God I am: So God is Sanctified two ways, either by the Holiness of his People, in their carriage towards him holding forth the glory of Gods Holiness: and so in that 1. Pet. 3. 15. Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, the Saints do sanctify God in their hearts when they fear God as a Holy God, and Reverence him and Love him as a holy God: and so Sanctify him in their lives, when their lives do hold forth the glory of Gods Holiness, then God is Sanctified.
I will be Sanctifyed, that is I will have my People to demeane and carry themselves so as to hold forth their acknowledgement of my Holynesse so, as by their carriage I may appeare to be a Holy God. I will be Sanctifyed by them, or otherwise if they shall not in an active way Sanctify my name, that is, if they shall not demeane themselves so as to hold forth the glory of my Holynesse, then I will be Sanctifyed upon them; I will demeane and carry my self towards them so, as by my actions upon them, I will make it appeare what a Holy God I am: So God is Sanctified two wayes, eyther by the Holynesse of his People, in their carriage towards him holding forth the glory of Gods Holynesse: and so in that 1. Pet. 3. 15. Sanctifye the Lord God in your hearts, the Saints doe sanctifye God in their hearts when they feare God as a Holy God, and Reverence him and Love him as a holy God: and so Sanctifie him in their lives, when their lives doe hold forth the glory of Gods Holynesse, then God is Sanctifyed.
Put then if we do not do so, then God Sanctifies himself, that is in ways of Judgement upon those that do not in ways of holiness
