Sanctification

Sanctification is becoming what we already are in Christ.

We are already alive in Christ, but we must be alive spiritually.

Our sinful flesh is dead in Christ, so we must constantly put the flesh to death.

We are free from sin in Christ, so we must continually work to keep ourselves free from sin.

We are righteous in Christ, so we must become righteous in the things that we do.

We are in the Spirit in Christ, so we must walk in the Spirit each day.

Sanctification is not a work that we do to obtain salvation (because we are redeemed in Christ already), but is a work that shows we are the recipient of salvation.
