God is just as clear in laying out His plan and provision of justification of the sinner as He is the sanctification. Both are a part and parcel of the gift package of salvation given as a free gift by God to those who have put their faith in Christ Jesus as their Savior and Lord. The transforming sanctification of the believer begins with the new birth and indwelling Holy Spirit of God. Believers then begin living the new life becoming the person God created them to be. Excuses for sin as worldly appeasements of a guilty conscience and all forms of behavior modification all fail and thwart the supernatural transforming work of the Spirit because they only generate a cover-up with external changes, not being generated by the new inner self by means of the Holy Spirit's work and power through the Word. Sin tolerated, excused, or entertained will always be destructive and dangerous to a believer thwarting spiritual growth, service to the Lord and worship of Him. Such reminders and emphasis cannot be overstated, according to what God has said in His word.
