Commitment
It is the heavenly sanctuary that began to be cleansed in 1844. There was no other sanctuary left at this time, and this is the sanctuary of the new covenant. The heavenly sanctuary is being cleansed from sin. There is a record of all the sins that have been committed and only those who have truly repented will have their sins blotted out. Those who only profess, but don’t overcome all sins, their name will be blotted out. Sin will be completely cleansed from the sanctuary. The question is whether our sins or our names will be blotted out. Will you strive to overcome all sin in your life so that your sins will be blotted out and not your name?
