While the example set by the Pilgrims can motivate us to a period of giving thanks to God, the example of Christ furnishes us with an even greater example.
Glorification is God’s final removal of sin from the life of His spiritual child so that each one of us will stand before Him in glory throughout eternity.
Scripture reading, prayer and involvement in the church are three elements of the sanctifying process. Our time with the Father and our fellowship with other Christians can help us grow more Christlike.
Sanctification may be thought of as the process by which believers cooperate with God’s means of producing holiness or godliness in the life of a sinner who has chosen to respond in repentance and faith to the saving work of Christ.
The expression in Scripture that God justifies forgiven sinners is a rather startling doctrine. In Romans 4:5, the declaration is that God “justifies the ungodly.”
