Santification - it's the impudent righteousness of Christ in a believer. For santification to work in our life we have to surrender to Christ. We are given the gift of legal perfection before God in the death of Christ on the cross.  When God looks at you, you are not a sinner.  Yet we struggle with this.   Hebrews 10:14 We trust Jesus in the finished work on the cross.   We are saved through faith alone.  Ephesians 2:8-9  We become set apart (greek: hogihi). God does not give His justification or santification to do with what He wants.  This generation God is looking to for change  - to be His hands and feet.  We are to live growing up in Christ.  We do this because we are made fit to go into heaven.  If we are not saved, no works will save you.  This is a mark of legalism.   We who are saved, do good works.  Jesus is our advocate in heaven.  He pleads our case before the Father.   When the Father looks at you; he sees you as righteous.   To do deny the work of the Holy Spirit

Justification- justified before Christ.   Message of the cross.   If Jesus did not die, there would be no remission of sin. Santification is you working out your salvation with the Lord. Live a life that takes a clean path.  Take authority over our lives in Christ. Live as Christ commands.  It is not instant.  It takes time.   It involves you and God. We cannot work our to salvation.  Once we have it when then work through it. Galations 2:20 Isaiah 64:6 Colossians 1:5-11 God gives us new life in Christ.   Are we going to live walking with him?  We are free to choose- so free that we can be free or burdened.  If we allow ourselves to come back underthe Law then we cannot come under grace.  Faith exptessing itself through love.  Runthe race.  It's important what we listen to. Galations 5:1-8 Galations 5:22 So those who belong to Christ Jesus have put to death all the sinful desires.   God works with us as we work with him.   We are to be builders- edify each other.  What did

Romans 5:1 Justification - being saved. Santification - holiness You may not be in heaven yet, but you are in kingdom of God. As God's child, You have all the resources of heaven at your disposal. 1 John 3:9 When the seed of God is in you; you are no longer a sinner.  When you are saved, in God's eyes you are no longer a sinner.   God now wants to sanctify you. Romans 5:1 - we have peace with God because we are right with God.  Because of what God is doing in our life.  Our justification comes through our faith in Jesus Christ.   God sees us a someone worthwhile for God to invest His time in. Each of us should use the gifts God has given us to build, not tear down.  To do worthwhile work and edify the Church. Galations 2:16 - Galations was written because people came along and said Christians had to keep the Law and they became confused.  Law shows us our shortcomings; but cannot save us. The Law is not done away with; but we can only live with God's help. Galatio
