The Main Idea: God doesn’t merely save us from hell—he saves us unto life.The Big Question: If SANCTIFICATION is simple, then why isn’t it easy?The Central Point: Because Sanctification Aims at Total Transformation by:1.)EXTENDING GOD’S MERCY (v. 1a) – (Application: God’s TRANSFORMING GRACE flows from his heart of compassionate mercy to us —so REST in his commitment to you sealed by the blood of Christ.)2.)CALLING US TO SACRIFICE (v. 1b) – (Application: God’s TRANSFORMING GRACE puts you on a collision course with the world—so expect some PAIN.)3.)COMMANDING US TO SEEK GOD’S WISDOM (v. 2) – (Application: God’s way TRANSFORMING GRACE opens up the way of wisdom—so DISCERN its way by God’s word and Spirit.)
