Sanctification What Changes Us

This sermon explores the theological concept of sanctification - the ongoing process of becoming more like Christ in our mind, will, and emotions. Jonathan positions sanctification within God's complete plan of redemption, distinguishing it from justification (past salvation) and glorification (future completion in heaven). He explains that humans are tripartite beings consisting of spirit (eternal), soul (mind, will, emotions), and body (flesh), with sanctification primarily working in the soul where the battle between Spirit and flesh occurs. The sermon emphasizes that while believers are 100% responsible for their choices, they are also 100% dependent on God's work in their transformation. Drawing heavily from Dr. David Powlison's book "How Does Sanctification Work?", the message provides practical understanding of how Christians grow spiritually in their present daily lives.
