Sanctification

In this first letter to the Thessalonian believers, the apostle Paul wrote to those whom God had made His family. In His grace, God enables His children to live as He commands. “Sanctification” and “justification” are important terms to understand, and there is a vast difference between the two. In this sermon, Alistair Begg explains that God first declares us righteous and then begins the process of conforming us to the image of Christ by the power of His Spirit.
Preached: 12/03/1995
Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

I was agreeing with what Alistair was saying up until around the 26 minutes mark. We are still guilty as charged, but the penalty for our sin has been paid in full by that precious blood of Yeshua Messiah. So the not guilty part is wrong, and I would hope that by now pastor Alistair would have changed his teachings about our Justification, but I agree with him about the Sanctification process, which is a work of the Holy Spirit within us.

[@YESYES-qz2ex]

@FrankPCarpi I think I understand your point. Jesus is the born again beleiver's advocate. As I see it, when God sees us, He does not see our sin. Instead, he sees His Son, The Lord Jesus Christ in our hearts. Therefore, as far as God is concerned, we are 'free' of sin. Jesus paid the full price, with the result that our sins have been totally washed away by His precious blood.

Do you guys broadcast the Sunday sermons?

[@truthforlife1]

Hi, We don't live stream Sunday sermons but Parkside Church does live stream the 9am Sunday service. You can find it on their website and TH-cam channel. We do post the sermon later in the week on our TH-cam channel. Blessings, TFL Staff

Sanctification doesn't mean that you become a " good enough" person that then you can go to heaven. One is sanctified at the same time they are saved. Meaning you are washed before God, because of Christ's finished work for the believer. The bible says God has perfected forever those who " are" sanctified.

What’s so ironic about this sermon is that he invited the young woman to a Christmas program & then preaches about Jeremiah 10 which is talking about the other nations cutting down a tree & adorning it with silver & gold (sounds like what some of us do for Christmas).

[@Sahih_al-Bukhari_2658]

Jeremiah 10 is about forming idols, Christmas trees didn’t even exist.
