Deep Dive: The New Resident: A Study on the Doctrine of Sanctification

Send us Fan MailThe Doctrine of Sanctification, defining it as a progressive, lifelong transformation where God and the believer work together to achieve holiness. Using the metaphor of a new resident renovating an old house, the text explains that while justification provides a legal standing before God, sanctification creates an internal change of character. The process is described as synergistic, requiring both the empowering grace of the Holy Spirit and the active obedience of the individual through spiritual disciplines and endurance. The source further breaks down the concept into past, present, and future stages, starting with a believer's set-apart identity and concluding with final glorification. Ultimately, the author emphasizes that while this spiritual growth is incremental rather than instant, it is an inevitable result of a genuine relationship with Christ.  Each month, Elder Tolliver offers a spiritually encouraging book to help you in your walk with Christ for any size donation.
