1 | Can we live life without sinning? | Rom 6:12 | YenIsaRap | 218096 | ||
Dear David Your use of Rom.12:2 is a proof text. It does not say sanctification is an ongoing process. These scriptures on the other hand say sanctification is a completed work. Acts 26:18 those who ARE SANCTIFIED by faith in me Rom.15:16 that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, BEING SANCTIFIED by the Holy Ghost. 1 Corinthians 1:2 to THOSE SANCTIFIED in Christ Jesus and called to be holy 1 Corinthians 6:11 But you WERE WASHED , you WERE SANCTIFIED Heb.2:11 For both HE THAT SANTIFIETH and they who ARE SANCTIFIED are all of one Hebrews 10:10 By this will we HAVE BEEN SANCTIFIED through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering He HAS PERFECTED for all time those who ARE SANCTIFIED Hebrews 10:29 who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant THAT SANCTIFIED HIM, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? Jud 1:1 to them that ARE SANCTIFIED BY GOD the Father, AND PRESERVED in Jesus Christ, and called Be Blessed YenIsaRap |

Greetings YenlsaRap! You raise a good point. Here is a break down of how the verb, 'hagiazw' is used in the New Testament. The gospels use the verb 8 times in 7 verses, but there it is either used as a reference to an object or as a future event for people. The rest of the New Testament uses the verb 20 times in 18 verses. The following verses all refer to a completed or past action: Acts 20:32, 26:18, Rom. 15:16 (this verse has a slightly different structure that focuses on the completed aspect rather than the time, which is still future to Paul's actions), 1 Cor. 1:12, 6:11, 7:14 (2x), Eph. 5:26, 2 Tim. 2:21, Heb. 10:10, 10:29, 13:12, 1 Pet. 3:15, and Rev. 22:11. There are only a few examples of the present tense of this verb: 1 Tim. 4:5 (referring to objects), Heb. 2:11 (2x), 9:13, 10:14. There is one optative verb used in a prayer for sanctification: 1 Thess. 5:23. So, the evidence is strong that there are two aspects to sanctification, completed action and progressive action. The church in general today acknowledges the progressive action, but almost completely ignores the complete action. Good post my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
