God Sanctifies Me

Lesson 11

October 18, 2023 • Pastor Chad Thompson

Give

Sanctification is the act of God whereby the believing sinner is set apart FROM sin (its penalty at salvation, its power in our lives, and its presence in eternity) and TO God, Christ, and righteousness.

This lesson focuses primarily on the practical aspect of sanctification, i.e. being set apart from the power of sin in our lives. Paul teaches us in Romans 6 four things that can lead us to living above the power of sin:

1) There is a fact to know. As believers we are dead to sin.

2) There is a faith to apply. We must account the fact as true to ourselves personally.

3) There is a function to fulfill. We must choose to yield to the power of the Holy Spirit as opposed to yielding to power of sin.

4) There is a faithfulness to live out. We must choose to obey God.

Salvation Will Be Made Complete

Glorification is the ultimate and absolute physical, mental, and spiritual perfection and transformation of each believer into the image of Christ. It is in essence the completion of our salvation.

I Can Be Assured Of My Salvation

February 28, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson

The gospel brings us a salvation that is eternally secure. God preserves us. Eternal security is God’s assurance of our salvation. God is absolutely certain of the security of our salvation because He is the one who is securing it. God saves, seals, and secures. Assurance is our confidence in God saving us and securing us. The ultimate secret to assurance of salvation is to base your present assurance of salvation on exactly what you based your past experience of salvation – FAITH in CHRIST ALONE, not in yourself.

Secured By The Son & Spirit

February 21, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson

The gospel is good news because we are preserved and secured by God the Son and the Holy Spirit. We secured by Jesus through His promises, his prayers, His substitutionary death, His resurrection, His heavenly work as our advocate and intercessor. We are preserved and secured by the Spirit through His work of regeneration, His work of placing us in union with Christ, His work of indwelling us permanently and serving as the earnest payment guaranteeing God will complete our salvation.
