Sanctification – R C Sproul

R C’s 24-minute lecture provides a thorough understanding of ‘sanctification.’ Biblical doctrines, such as sanctification, should be understood by Christians so they are able to think about their walk of faith by examining the various aspects of it from a biblical perspective.

During his lecture, R C briefly discussed several other doctrines, such as ‘imputation,’ ‘justification,’ etc. Those terms are defined below the video for Christians who aren’t clear about their meanings.

R C drew a graph on his green board like the one above, on the left side, actual progress in sanctification would be measured; the bottom line represents the time involved in achieving the results the graph depicts. He noted that we never reach sanctification in our earthly life; also, that the green line can have major dips (which represent set backs – as in king David’s life regarding Bathsheba). He also explained a couple of heresies about sanctification via drawing other graphs like the one above.

There is no fast track for growing in holiness. Sanctification is a daily, long-term process that takes place in the life of every Christian. In this message, R.C. Sproul explores the doctrine of sanctification, warning against four false teachings that can distract believers from diligently pursuing righteousness.
