Salvation, Sanctification, and Justification

from Radically Christian Hosted by Wes McAdams and Marcus Stenson

What if the vocabulary you inherited for salvation has left you more anxious than assured? Justification, sanctification, saved: many believers learned these words as tidy categories, and many sincere Christians still lie awake wondering whether they have done enough. Others have been told it is settled and nothing they do matters. Sometimes neither answer seems to match the way Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 6 or 2 Thessalonians 2. Wes and Marcus take up a listener’s question about the difference between salvation, justification, and sanctification. Is there a clear line between them? Where does obedience fit? Why do so many of us swing between pride and shame? And what might we miss when we read Scripture like a system instead of a story? This conversation is for anyone who has wondered if they are on solid ground.
