Sanctification4, What God Expects From Us

Download this episode (32 min)  
Obstacles to Sanctification:
1. Focusing on the easy to count things instead of Holiness, purity, etc.
2. Defeatist attitude: "I just can't change"
3. Accepting a false view of Grace

This lesson lists the many commands that relate to what God expects us to do with regards to sin. It's more than just confess, repent, and accept His Grace.

Sanctification3, God's Power for Us

Download this episode (37 min)  
We are sanctified by:
1. Faith
2. The Word
3. The Holy Spirit

God will never call or expect us to do something without giving us the power to do it.

Sanctification is hard but can lived because God is working in and with us.

Sanctification2, The Enemy Within

Download this episode (27 min)  
(The audio gets really bad around minute 11, if you fast forward ahead to minute 13-14, the quality returns. The unclear section deals with 1 John 1:8-10 and self-deception.)

"Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true." Demosthenes

Christians do struggle with sin. We must admit it to be able to deal with it. Sanctification deals with fighting against sin in our lives.
