Today we discuss what it means to us to follow Christ. Stepping out of our family comfort and getting to know God in a personal level.
Sanctification is the process in which holiness begins. In this process God is reshaping us and renewing us to actually be holy, to become more like Jesus Christ.
Justification is the act of Jesus paying the price for sin - for all of humanity. By accepting this act of grace through faith we are justified. Once we accept Jesus' sacrifice we are justified - it's something that only happens once.
Justification is God for us and Sanctification is God in us.
