| Sanctification – Part 4

Every believer’s most significant need is spiritual maturity.  Many times, as believers we do not realize the significant impact an unsanctified or carnal lifestyle is having on our life here on earth.  As Christians, we are called to live a sanctified life, a separated life or you might say a holy life.  There are many thoughts that go through people’s minds when you talk about a holy life, or a life set apart, but I want to look at the Scriptures to help us understand this better.

In this series, as we allow the Word of God to transform our thinking we will see the Godly potential of a sanctified life.  Then as we walk out these truths in our day-to-day life we will experience the results of a sanctified life.

Living a sanctified life is like living in the promised land, living a carnal or unsanctified life is like living in the wilderness.  I believe I am looking at a church that desires to live in provision rather than from miracle to miracle.

Part 4 – Now that we have set the stage for experiential sanctification, we begin today to dive into Romans 6.  The death of the believer to sin means that the domination of sin has been broken.  In short, Paul’s initial response to the charge that this gospel promotes sin is that grace, instead of encouraging sin, actually provides the means to escape its fatal grip.
