Subject: What is God's part in my santification?. |
Bible Note: Dear Ed, May I ask what different viewpoints you and Joe are coming from? Election? Covenant Theology? Escatology? Other? I find it helpful to know what theological bias (everyone has a theological bias) someone is coming from so I can discern why they are saying what they are saying and still benefit. I think for some it colors their view too much so they are unwilling to hear what the other person has to say. But I personally like to hear all sides and prayerfully meditate on them and come to my own answers. After all, I have been wrong from a theological perspective before (i.e. Keswick sanctification), and I suppose it will probably happen again ! Blessings, Pam PS I most wholeheartedly agree that our relationship with Jesus is the MOST vital thing. And I loved your final statement -“Sanctification is our conscience effort along with the Holy Spirit to seperate ourselves from the lusts of the flesh and this world to walk in a closer relationship with Christ.” It pretty much summarizes the what, how and why of practical sanctification ! Funny thing - this is exactly what I was doing before I got messed up in the wrong Keswick understanding of practical sanctification! |
