How to live and maintain a Sanctified life:
- Live in implicit obedience.
- If you fall, immediately confess before the Lord. The Lord will restore you.
- Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (Jam.4:7).
- Be regular in studying the Bible, Prayer, witnessing and living for others.
- Do not look with you and be discouraged, but look up and be encouraged.
Difference between Justification and Sanctification:
| Justification | Sanctification |
| It is God’s act of forgiving our sins and counting us righteous through faith in Jesus Christ | Sanctification begins with justification. Sanctification is the continual work of the Holy Spirit in the believer in order to conform us to the image of Christ, who is God’s son. |
| Justification is a one-time act of God, which makes it complete and finished. | sanctification is a continual process until you are taken to be with the Lord. |
| Justification addresses the sinner’s guilt. | Sanctification addresses sin’s power and corruption over a believer’s life. |
| Justification is God’s declaration that a sinner is righteous through the work of the Lord Jesus Christ. | Sanctification is God’s transformation of a believer’s whole being, that is the mind, will, behaviour through the work of the Holy Spirit. |
| To be justified, your good works are immaterial. | To be sanctified, your good works are a necessary evidence of your faith in Christ, which the Holy Spirit enables you to do as you continually depend upon God. |
| Justification gives you the privilege as well as the boldness to enter heaven. | Sanctification gives you the meekness for heaven and allows you to fully take joy in abiding there. |
