In order to grow, there must be something in you which can grow. Justification therefore surely cannot be separated from regeneration. Justification must involve an interior change, such that there is now within the believer some seed of God which must grow to fill the whole life. Therefore, surely justification involves being made righteous, by that planting of the seed of God within one, and not just a being declared righteous without any interior change.
Christ Jesus called us not only to repent and believe but also to pick up your cross and follow. Right standing is gained through trusting upon Christ finished work on the cross, yet the cultivated process of sanctification reflects God's rich glory in the world in need. Thanks for making the conference available for us, and God bless you.
@@Chirhopher I think your question is about Sanctification, is it a complete work of God....?The answer is NO. To clarify I'm referring to Progressive Sanctification (not Positional Sanctification) which is the daily struggle of the child of God who matures faithfully as he/she submits to Christ Spirit and the Word. The person will face test where he has to choose to honor God in every decision or honor self. I'm sure you're familiar with this struggle. We can be our own worst enemy and to crucify our selfish desires is tough. Paul too struggled with this battle of knowing and doing. God has given us, when we are born again, His Spirit. He is the Precious Seed that grows within, filling and producing the fruit of righteousness but we effect His effectiveness in disbelief and sin. Though He wants all of you, love is displayed as we desire Him more than self-centered behaviors. So Progressive Sanctification is a work that begins with God and is encouraged by our active participation and submission. Hope that helps.
Hello Sir, sanctification is completely done by God when he sanctified perfectly forever a believer throug the offering of the body of Christ once for all. The bible clearly says. Hebrews 10:10,14 KJV By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. [14] For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Saints were commanded to live holy but it does not add or diminish the holiness made by Christ . Living holy have rewards and it pleases God while living unholy life have chastisement as safe word to say for we believe that sanctification is a part of salvation and we know that salvation is by grace and by faith without works. Living holy or unholy or commiting sin will not affect the sanctification made by God because if it affects then salvation is not complete since no sinners or unholy can enter into heaven We are perfected forever sanctified by the offering of Christ and it is not by works according to Heb. 10:10,14 and Gal. Galatians 3:1-3 KJV O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? [2] This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? [3] Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Yes I agree that we saints should live a holy life, but it does not add or diminish God's sanctification. I'm sorry but your view of sanctification is confusing to the biblical declaration of the sanctified by Christ offering.
19:15 Surely the person being justified does something to receive justification, namely willing to submit to God and gratefully accept His grace.

Is that something We Do or GOD Does?

This is a great teaching on justification and sanctification. Thank you! Very clear.
