My view
I personally think that this subject on Salvation is very important to understand --- As sanctification means --we are set apart by God and made Holy --- When we Receive Jesus in our Hears The Holy Spirit then indwells in us and our corrupt human Spirit is changed by the Person of the Holy spirit to make us Holy before God ----- so we are holy and heaven bound Spiritually so we are sanctified---
Strong's Exhaustive Concordance
holiness, sanctification.
From
hagiazo; properly, purification, i.e. (the state) purity; concretely (by Hebraism) a purifier -- holiness, sanctification.
Will we still sin --yes ---sin comes from the flesh ---which is our Carnal mind ----which we have to change ourselves ----we still have fleshy worldly thinking which still has hold over us to sin ----when we are weak God says His Grace is sufficient to help us in our weakness to sin ----Satan still has access to our minds and his job is to keep us in the sin mode ----so we are to call on God's Grace and we are to cast down all bad thoughts ----
Strong's Concordance
sarx: flesh
(
sarks) is generally negative,
referring to making decisions (actions) according to self – i.e. done apart from faith (independent from God's inworking).
Thus what is "
of the flesh (
carnal)" is by definition displeasing to the Lord – even things that
seem "respectable!" In short,
flesh generally relates to
unaided human effort, i.e. decisions (actions) that originate from self or are empowered by self.
This is
carnal ("of the
flesh") and proceeds out of the
untouched (
unchanged) part of us – i.e. what is
not transformed by God
I say
But here is the amazing part ----God does not impute sin on Born Again Believers -----we will sin but God has promised that He remembers our sins no more ---Past --present and future sins are forgiven
--Scripture below
Hebrews 8 NIV---- see verse 12
7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. 8 But God found fault with the people and said[
b]:
“The days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.
9 It will not be like the covenant
I made with their ancestors
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,
because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,
and I turned away from them,
declares the Lord.
10 This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel
after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds
and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
11 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.”[
c]
13 By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear
I say ---we should want to be aware of what Jesus accomplished on the Cross for us ----
Reconciliation --Justification ---Sanctification --Healing ----Deliverance --Forgiveness and Wholeness
---The Scripture tells us how to have this -----
Romans 10 NIV
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
