Sanctification

Sanctification is a lifelong process of learning to walk in freedom from sin and selfishness. It is the choice to follow Christ down the narrow path of discipleship, where we learn to depend on Him for everything. It is a difficult life that requires trust, obedience, and sacrifice. While it does require effort on our part, God does all the heavy lifting. Christ is our sanctification, and God, the Father, is the one who sanctifies us. Our responsibility is to develop a relationship of total dependence on God for everything. That relationship is cultivated through surrender and repentance. Rest assured, the rewards of following Him far outweigh the cost of being His disciple. Through the process of sanctification, you will be transformed more and more into the image of Christ. As you become more Christ-like, those around you will be blessed because your life will be filled with joy, hope, and peace. You will become the person that God created you to be, which will eventually lead to glorification. Click the button below to learn more.
