1 | Sanctification the Work of Free Grace | Heb 2:11 | DocTrinsograce | 209503 | ||
Sanctification is "the work of God's free grace, whereby we are renewed in the whole man after the image of God, and are enabled more and more to die unto sin, and live unto righteousness." --Westminster Shorter Catechism (question 35) "Sanctification is an ongoing transformation within a maintained consecration, and it engenders real righteousness within the frame of relational holiness. Relational sanctification, the state of being permanently set apart for God, flows from the cross, where God through Christ purchased and claimed us for Himself (Acts 20:28; 26:18; Hebrews 10:10). Moral renovation, whereby we are increasingly changed from what we once were, flows from the agency of the indwelling Holy Spirit (Romans 8:13; 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 6:11, 19-20; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Ephesians 4:22-24; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; Heb. 13:20-21). God calls His children to sanctity and graciously gives what He commands (1 Thessalonians 4:4; 5:23)." --James I. Packer |
