Be Ye Holy: The Necessity of Sanctification

Dr. Derek Thomas spoke next, taking 1 Peter 1:13-25 as his text. The point of all theology is to drive us into Christlikeness. We are saved to be holy. Start to think biblically, Christianly--get your mind ready. What do you think about when you're not thinking about anything? The answer is an indication of your spiritual state. 1 Samuel 1-2, Hebrews 2. We share in the holiness of Christ. Our sanctification is accomplished by our being brought into gospel union with Christ. We are children, part of a family, and must bear the family reputation. There will be a judgment and we must give an account.
