SANCTIFICATION a big word with a big meaning; having an increasingly Christ like character.
SANCTIFICATION is a progressive work of both God and man and woman that makes Christians more and more free from sin and more and more like Christ in their actual lives.
Before we can start to be sanctified, we must be justified {forgiven}. Repenting [Being genuinely sorry to God for all our wrong doings} and trusting God for our salvation, set a pattern for the rest of our Christian walk. Repentance and faith result in justification.
We will never achieve perfection until Christ return, but we can expect progress in our sanctification,with Our Lord and Our Friend helping our every step if we let Him.
SANCTIFICATION is a work in progress, it starts at the point of accepting new life In Christ Jesus and increases through out our lives.
Salvation set us free from the power of sin {Romans 6 V18} We must consider ourselves " dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus Our Lord and Our Friend.
Sin will have no power over us, even though we will still sin because we are a work in progress.
1 John 1 verses 5 to 10 Speak of fellowship with God.
1 John 2 verse 1 and 2 V 1 My little children I am writing you these things so that you may not sin. But if any one does sin, we have an advocate with the Father = Jesus Christ the righteous One. V 2 He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not only our, but also for those of the whole world.
{propitiation virtually means Jesus paid the price because of His great love for us}
This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad.
SANCTIFICATION we are on a journey of growth and development.
A wonderful Savior Our Lord and Our Friend is there for us in everything we do.
It is a new day, and a new and living way let us all walk in it.
God Bless
