38.2 - Justification, Sanctification - Part 1B
Tuesday, July 29, 2025
by Robert Dean & Rachel Musser
Passage: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 & Romans 6:6-14
Series: Interlocked (2023)
Duration: 1 hr 2 mins 38 secs

• Saved from the POWER of sin: sanctification
• What happens to our sin nature when we are saved?
• What IS sanctification?
• What to do in the ongoing battle with our sin nature
• Examples of “saved” from the power of sin
• What about the person who never shows any spiritual growth?

Do you understand the difference between justification and sanctification?

Sanctification, on the other hand, follows justification and is a daily choice to study God's Word, confess sin, and pray in order to grow to spiritual maturity. We cannot accomplish this on our own but only by means of the Holy Spirit who indwells us. Learn all the details of this important blessing for all believers.

At the end of this Bible class Rachel Musser gave a presentation for her ministry throughout the world. If you'd like to support Rachel financially, please visit the Ararat-Rainier East-West Fellowship website at www.arewf.org and indicate it is for the women's ministry.
