1 | Salvation or how we live day to day? | Matthew | srbaegon | 40330 | ||
Hello Dave If I may jump in. I would not say there is a "'righteousness' of salvation and the 'righteousness' of sanctification". Rather that there is a difference between initial and ongoing sanctification. As has been noted we are declared righteous when we believe (Rom 4:3-5), and yet there is an active working of righteousness in us (Rom 6:13). The same is true of sanctification. You are sanctified when you believe (1 Pet 2:9-10), yet there is the active working of sanctification in us (Rom 6:19). Romans 6 and 1 Peter 1:13-2:12 are two good sections regarding sanctification. You (or Schaefer?) ask several good rhetorical questions. It's the practical, godly working of a holy life that does these things well. Steve |

Steve, Yes, good clarification. Actually, Schaefer is the one with the pointed questions and challenging perspectives on what it means to live day to day with Christ as our model and Lord. But a great voice of today speaking to how we can best appropriate the rule and grace of Christ in our hearts through our day to day doings and relationships is a Univ. of Southern Calif. professor named Dallas Willard. His "Divine Consiracy" was a real eye opener for me. I recommend it most enthusiastically. Thank you for your well focused post. I will read Romans 6 and 1 Peter 1 and 2 to gain perspective. What a rich blessing it is to be "washed in the word" of God. Dave R. |
