CHRIST OUR SANCTIFICATION, PART 2: THE NECESSITY OF SANCTIFICATION TEXT: Colossians 3:1-11
SUMMARY: While a precise scriptural description of believer’s sanctification is difficult, the Bible is clear in saying that continuing sanctification is absolutely necessary for the Christian.
I. THE BASIS OF THE COMMAND TO BE SANCTIFIED. A. Our Natural Condition. From Ralph Venning, The Sinfulness of Sin. B. Our Christian Position.
III. THE NECESSITY OF THE COMMAND TO BE SANCTIFIED. From John Owen, The Mortification of Sin: A. Sin always remains, and therefore it must be “mortified.” B Sin continually labors to bring forth the works of the flesh. C. The sin nature, if left alone, sin will bring forth great, cursed, scandalous, soul-destroying sins. D. Negligence in this duty is to ignore what Paul says was his experience and should be ours. E. Specific aspects of sanctification are stated as our duty. F. The Spirit and the new nature are given to us that we may have the weapons by which we can oppose sin and lust.
