    7. God’s Role in Sanctification Father: Disciplines His Children (Heb 12:5-11, Phil 2:3) Son: Earned Sanctification for us (1 Cor 1:30) Set the standard (Heb 12:2, 1 Pet 2:21, 1 Jn. 2:6) Holy Spirit: Transforms us (1 Pet 1:2, 2 Thess 2:13, Gal 5:22-23) Guides us (Gal 5:16-18, Rom 8:14)

    8. Our Role in Sanctification Yielding: Rom 6:13, 19; 8:13; 12:1-2 Trusting: Phil 2:12-13 Submission: Gal 5:16; Heb 12:14; 1 Thess 4:3; 1 Jn 3:3; 1 Cor 6:18; 7:34; 2 Cor 7:1; 10:5; 2 Pet 1:15 Be in the Word: Psalm 1:2; Matt 4:4; 17:17 Pray: Eph 6:18; Phil 4:6 Worship: Eph 5:18-20 Witness: Acts 1:8 Fellowship: Heb 10:24-25; 1 Thess 5:11, Eph 4:2-3 Self Control: Gal 5:23; Titus 1:8

    10. The Case for Perfection Matt 5:48: Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. 2 Cor 7:1: Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God. 1 Thess 5:23: May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Jn 1:9: No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. Heb 12:14: Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

    11. Not so Perfect… Prov 20:9 Who can say, "I have kept my heart pure;        I am clean and without sin"? Matt 6:12 Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. Eccl 7:20 There is not a righteous man on earth        who does what is right and never sins. 1 Jn 1:8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

    12. Sanctification Defined “Renewal of our fallen nature by the Holy Spirit, received through faith in Jesus Christ, we are washed from sin’s pollution, saved from its power, and are enabled, through grace, to love God with all our hearts and to walk blamelessly in his commandments.” “A progressive work of God and man that makes us more and more free from sin and like Christ in our actual lives” “Separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service.”
