Sanctification in Abraham Genesis 17: 1-8 Sanctification is the work of God’s grace whereby God sets apart and makes his children consecrated unto him.

All true sanctification (Octavius Winslow) “Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.” Titus 2:14 There is no victory over the indwelling power of sin, and there is no pardon for the guilt of sin, but as the soul deals […]
