232. The Spirit's Work of Sanctification
Manage episode 454718220 series 3622808
In this episode, Dr. Venema concludes this series on the Holy Spirit by looking at the doctrine of sanctification and the role of the Holy Spirit. He discusses the biblical and theological understanding of sanctification as an ongoing work of the Holy Spirit rather than a "second blessing" or higher level of Christian experience. Dr. Venema emphasizes that sanctification is a progressive work, which will ultimately result in the complete holiness and conformity to Christ of all believers when the Spirit's work is finished. He refutes various perfectionist teachings and instead upholds the scriptural call for believers to actively put to death sin and live in obedience, all while relying on God's grace.
