Holiness of the whole person

1 Corinthians 1:2 (ESV)

2 To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:

Brothers and sisters, Jesus Christ did not purchase a part of you. He bought all of you—body, soul, and spirit—and he must have you, the whole person. Oh, if you are to be partly saved by him, and partly by yourselves, then live to yourselves! But if God has wholly set you apart to be vessels of mercy fitted for his use, do not rob the Lord. Treat not as common cups those things which are as the bowls of the altar!1
