The Nature of Sanctification

Sanctification is presented as a divine gift rather than a human achievement, emphasizing that true obedience comes from God’s grace. The discussion draws from Romans 6, highlighting that believers are freed from the slavery of sin and transformed into obedience through God's intervention. This understanding reflects that if eternal life is a gift from God, then the process leading to it—sanctification—must also be viewed as a gift rather than a goal to be achieved. The speaker points out the necessity of recognizing this gift to foster gratitude towards God for the changes in one’s life.
