Pursuing Sanctification

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that sanctification is a joint effort between the believer and the Spirit of God, highlighting the necessity of obedience and faithfulness rather than just more faith. Using Abraham's story and Jesus' teaching in Luke 17, the preacher illustrates that spiritual growth involves real sacrifice, obedience, and a willingness to serve God faithfully. The message encourages believers to pursue godliness diligently through outward works that reflect inward transformation by the Spirit. Ultimately, sanctification is about obeying God's commands and living as slaves to righteousness, empowered by the Spirit.
