It would be nice and fairly nearly true, to say that 'from that time forth, Eustace was a different boy.' To be strictly accurate, he began to be a different boy. He had relapses. There were still many days when he could be very tiresome. But most of those I shall not notice. The cure had begun.
C.S. LewisStichwörter: sanctification
God never grants justification without also giving sanctification at the same time ... Sanctification in us begins as an instantaneous act of the Holy Spirit and is carried forward by His continued action in our lives.
Jerry BridgesStichwörter: justification sanctification
Progressive sanctification is not a partnership with the Spirit in the sense that we each - the believer and the Holy Spirit - do our respective tasks. Rather, we work as He enables us to work. His work lies behind all our work and makes our work possible.
Jerry BridgesStichwörter: sanctification
This book is not the memoir of a contented man. It's not the poignant reflections of a white-haired guru who has finally figured out the secret to contentment. It's more like sweaty, bloody, hastily scribbled notes from a battlefield. I'm still struggling to escape the sinister fingers on this conspiracy. I'm still waging war against the discontentment that rages in my life. I can see contentment in the distance, like a hazy oasis, but I have to pick my way through a minefield to get there. I'm not the contented man God wants me to be, but I'm fighting to get there. I'm writing this book the hope that you'll join me in the fight.

Tolerating a wrong attitude toward another person causes you to follow the spirit of the devil, no matter how saintly you are.
Oswald ChambersStichwörter: christianity sin saint sanctification
A true Christian is one who has not only peace of conscience, but war within. He may be known by his warfare as well as by his peace.
J.C. RyleStichwörter: christianity sanctification
Stichwörter: christianity sanctification
The author challenges how much sanctity has to do with sameness, as he says saints are as different from each other as those in any group -- even murderers.
G.K. ChestertonStichwörter: individuality sanctification
All things as they move toward God are beautiful, and they are ugly as they move away from Him.
A.W. TozerStichwörter: holiness sanctification
One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime. Nor is surrender to the will of God (per se) adequate to fullness of power in Christ. Maturity is the accomplishment of years, and I can only surrender to the will of God as I know what that will is.
