Sanctification
| To the next statement: Worship |
Sanctification is God’s gracious act of accounting and imparting the
righteousness and holiness of Jesus Christ to the believer. It is
experienced through faith in Jesus Christ and accomplished through the
indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.
(Romans 6:11; 1 John 1:8-9; Romans 6:22; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; Galatians
5:22-23)
