Definition “It is a progressive work of God and man, which makes us more free from sin, and conforms us more into the
likeness of Christ, in our present life” ~ Grudem
SANCTIFICATION & CASUISTRY
DO & DONT'S? 1-Sin is “any lack of conformity to, or transgression of, God's Law” - Sanctification deals with sin, NOT preference 2-What is “sin” for one believer, it's not always “sin” for all. - Example: Romans 14 , 1 Corinthians 10 3-Consequently, what “works” for me – in pursuing sanctification – may not necessarily “work” for you - Example: 1 Corinthians 7 (Paul's celibacy) 4-The “rule” is God's Revelation not man-made traditions - Colossians 2:14-16 , 1 Timothy 4:1-2 , Mark 9 5-God is the Judge…not us. Standard is Bible.
APPLICATION 1-Biblical imperatives must be built upon Biblical indicatives 2-Biblical indicatives lead to Biblical imperatives 3-We must plant the cross first and last 4-We should find accountability partners in case of inveterate sins 5-We must first flee and then think 6-Sin must be avoided before it is too late
CONCLUSION Salvation is a gift from God - nothing believer does can add to or take away from His work
