Jan 4, 2022 · God invites us sinners to come to Him “just as we are” and receive His mercy and forgiveness. When we are saved, the Holy Spirit begins His amazing work of transforming us into the image and likeness of Christ. To be sanctified means that God loves us too much to let us stay the same.

A significant part of our identity in Christ is that we’re washed, renewed, and regenerated by the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:5). Though work remains to be done in terms of our spiritual growth, the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit involves placing us in a spiritual position of having been cleansed from sin. As believers, we’re set apart for God’s hol...
It is commonly known that sanctification is a process. This is indeed the case, but in addition, as is less widely acknowledged, sanctification is, first, a position into which believers are placed at conversion. Thus, Paul addresses his first letter to the Corinthians “To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, c...
The Spirit is the agent of sanctification in both positional and progressive sanctification. Regenerating us and indwelling us, he positions us and causes spiritual growth in us. The Spirit’s work is exhibited as the fruit of the Spirit: “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-c...
We often lapse into works righteousness and see spiritual disciplines as the rule for growth. In sanctification, however, we depend on God to do the work. The focus should not be on the disciplines themselves. As I mentioned in the previous point, sanctification is not in the first place something we do; it is God’s gracious work in us by his Spiri...
There are several approaches to sanctification. Some see Christians as attaining perfection already in this life (“entire sanctification”). Others see sanctification solely as a process of growth in godliness. Yet others promote a higher spiritual experience sometime after salvation, a view often referred to as a “second blessing.” Inductively appr...
Holiness is first and foremost an attribute of God. God alone is truly holy; there is none like him. The Old Testament depicts God in glowing terms as holy and glorious, whether in self-descriptions, pronouncements made about God by various Old Testament characters, or narrative portions describing the words and works of God. The song of Moses exul...
In sanctification, there is going to be a rhythm of repentance from sin, confession, forgiveness, and walking in the Spirit by faith. On the night before he was crucified, Jesus taught his disciples this important truth at the foot washing during the Last Supper when he told Peter, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet,...
Godis at work within us through his Spirit. All we need to do is remain connected; that is, abide in Jesus, knowing that apart from him we can do nothing. In John 15:4–5, Jesus seeks to impart this truth to his followers when he says, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can yo...
Every Christian is expected to grow into full maturity (albeit not perfection in this life). The standard, according to Jesus, is for us to “Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matt. 5:48), a goal toward which we are called to make increasing progress by the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. Peter writes, “As he who called you is hol...
At the final state we will have achieved holiness, but until then it’s going to be an ongoing process. It’s a goal but not a reality yet. Growth, yes; perfection, no. Paul told the Thessalonian believers, “Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord...
Feb 26, 2024 · Sanctification involves more than a mere moral reformation of character, brought about by the power of the truth: it is the work of the Holy Spirit bringing the whole nature more and more under the influences of the new gracious principles implanted in the soul in regeneration.
In John 17:17 Jesus says, “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.”. It is not a truth but “the truth” of His Word that sanctifies. God’s Word sanctifies us because “it is the power (lit. “energy”) of God for salvation” (1 Rom/1 Cor 1:18). We are not that power, but God’s Word has power…the power to save and to ...
Jan 4, 2022 · In Christian theology, sanctification is a state of separation unto God; all believers enter into this state when they are born of God: “You are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption” (1 Corinthians 1:30, ESV).
Sanctification is that renewal of our fallen nature by the Holy Ghost, received through faith in Jesus Christ, whose blood of atonement cleanseth from all sin; whereby we are not only delivered from the guilt of sin, but are washed from its pollution, saved from its power, and are enabled, through grace, to love God with all our hearts and to ...
