Justin Timberlake’s Song of Sanctification

Can Christians glean anything from Timberlake’s “Sanctified,” yet another pop song to place sex and love in a religious context?

I think its important to listen to the song with caution and not absorb Timberlakes lyrics as completely sound doctrine. However I think we need to have a merciful perspective when listening to the place the artist is at in his own personal walk. Artists share with the public moments in the timelines of their lives and their thoughts and feelings in a very creative and sometimes complex way. Is Timberlakes heart transformed and is there evidence? This could be the evidence. Even though it’s flawed. Much the evidence from the rest of our lives and the lives of those transformed by Gods grace and forgiveness is complex and fails at times to be a good representation that God has changed us. Timberlakes doctrine will likely never be perfect, and his walk in life will never be sin free. That is a message he is clearly admitting to, and that is the evidence that he does understand the GRACE and mercy of the cross. That is the gospel though. Jesus came to live a perfect life so we don't have to. We are redeemed in our sinful state. Many in the church will criticize like the pharisees. Let’s pray for him and let God continue to transform all our hearts.

I'm a Christian I gave my life to Jesus Christ seven years ago when I got sick with late stage chronic lyme disease and I see how the Lord is working in me and changing me shaking me and to christlikeness and I'm grateful for my suffering. God can work everything out for good even if it looks bad in our lives. I know the Lord gives us free will to choose him or not but I also believe that God through Jesus Christ through the holy Spirit woos his love towards us. Pray for Justin Timberlake but the Lord God will work in his heart to take out the heart of Stone and give him a new heart a flesh. The God will send harvesters to him and his beautiful wife. It can be hard looking at certain celebrities when you look at their outer body and they look fine and innocent but it's the inner part of the person that's not and only God knows our secret sins. I try to remind myself God is always working and people's hearts around the world so I need to trust God's character his goodness his Holiness and sovereign over all things. I'm not talking about a religion I'm talking about a relationship with Jesus Christ. I know that I'm not saved by my good works but only save through faith in Jesus Christ and faith alone. Some people get mad at God because of the suffering upon this world or they don't believe in God because of suffering. But I just pray that more people would know but one and only living God that created all things from the heavens and from Earth. That God the one and only true God that cares about us that God that knows what it's like to suffer with us. I love your message about Justin Timberlake. I know his wife is spiritual and I saw quite a few pictures of her having Buddha statues but I remember in the beginning of my faith I had Little Buddha statues even though I wasn't worshiping them but at the same time I thought these Buddha statues were cool and when I look back on that in a sense I was probably idolizing them in a way. God took me this far and he's still doing a good work within me. I know there's days where I do fall short of the Lord's Glory but I don't like that feeling when I feel separate from him and I lose the fellowship with the Lord even though I don't lose my salvation but the holy Spirit can draw back from us when we hurt his feelings. I live with family and I'm the only one in the family right now that I believe that's close with the Lord. Please pray for my family that the Lord will work in their hearts also but that the Lord will keep working in me to let my light shine before them and other people in my life. The reason I came to this website is I was watching the movie I'll be home for Christmas 1999 and at the end of the movie I had Justin Timberlake singing a Christmas song especially his wife in the movie Jessica Biel so I decided to look up her faith and it doesn't say too much about it even though she says that she's spiritual and that I looked at Justin Timberlake's faith and he says he talks about God but he doesn't mention Jesus Christ at all. I know I pray from time to time for certain celebrities in Hollywood because Hollywood is getting more demonic and dark more celebrities worshiping the devil. But I know as Christians repulsed to pray before God for the Lost. I would like to share more of my testimony but I don't want to make this message too long here. Thank you for taking the time to read my message out of your day. Sincerely Nicholas but I go by Nick. Much love...✍️✝️???????????????? JOHN 3:16..????????????
