Sanctification

Sanctification is the act or process of acquiring sanctity, of being made or becoming holy.

10 QUOTES WITH «SANCTIFICATION»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word sanctification.
1
William Ames
Sanctification is the real change in man from the sordidness of sin to the purity of God's image.
2
William Ames
The starting point of sanctification is the filthiness, corruption, or stain of sin.
3
William Ames
Sanctification is not to be understood here as a separation from ordinary use or consecration to some special use, although this meaning is often present in Scripture, sometimes referring to outward and sometimes to inward or effectual separation.
4
Jerry Bridges
Sanctification is the work of the Holy Spirit in us whereby our inner being is progressively changed, freeing us more and more from sinful traits and developing within us over time the virtues of Christlike character.
5
John Donne
Humiliation is the beginning of sanctification.
6
Fred Hammond
The Bible is a novel that's crazy... it has murder, it has victory it has mayhem, it has disaster, it has war, sanctification.
7
J. C. Ryle
Sanctification is that inward spiritual work which the Lord Jesus Christ works in a man by the Holy Spirit when He calls him to be a true believer. He not only washes him from his sins in His own blood, but He also separates him from his natural love of sin and the world, puts a new principle in his heart and makes him practically godly in life.
8
J. C. Ryle
Sanctification is the outcome and inseparable consequence of regeneration. He who is born again and made a new creature receives a new nature and a new principle and always lives a new life.
9
J. C. Ryle
The 'means of grace' are such as Bible reading, private prayer, and regularly worshiping God in Church, wherein one hears the Word taught and participates in the Lord's Supper. I lay it down as a simple matter of fact that no one who is careless about such things must ever expect to make much progress in sanctification.
10
Matthew Simpson
Sanctification is not regeneration.
